As a papermaker, some of the biggest problems you face are so small you can’t even see them.  They are the seemingly endless array of bacterial and fungal slime, spores, and microbiological contaminants that thrive in your paper machine.  Left untreated, these microorganisms can create a variety of problems, including slime deposits, microbiologically induced corrosion, spores, spots and holes, unpleasant odors, dangerous gases, additive spoilage, and more.

At Ashland, you have a complete resource for exclusive, proprietary, and standard microbiological control products.
