Kemira is introducing KemFlite™, a new concept to reduce paper and board machine problems that are caused by deposits due to the agglomeration of hydrophobic particles. These particles typically originate from wood pitch, stickies or binders in coated broke and have previously been difficult to detect and control. Under certain conditions the particles agglomerate to a larger size and eventually deposit on paper machine wet-end surfaces, wires, felts and dryer cans.

Kemira is proud to present seven technical posters in the poster session at SIWW 2012 held on July 1 – July 5, 2012. Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) is the global platform for the sharing and co-creation of innovative water solutions attended by global water leaders and practitioners from the public and private sectors to debate in water dialogues, network with key industry players, show case leading-edge technologies and best practices and identify viable solutions to address this common challenge.
