Products

DuBois holds multiple patents for unique paper machine fabric treatments and cleaning solutions. Our programs are designed to eliminate the need to take machine downtime for cleaning and maximize the overall performance of the fabric. DuBois can also maximize fabric life while maintaining more consistent performance throughout its life.

Key Technologies:

Forming Wire Treatments & Cleaning

DuBois has a variety of technologies to help maintain the cleanliness of forming wires across all grades of paper. DuBois programs begin with a review and optimization of the showering and conditions on the wire followed by development of a suitable program to compliment the conditions and needs.
Our solutions are designed to improve operational efficiency by preventing and removing contaminants, keeping forming fabrics cleaner, and extending wash intervals. They can help resist stickies, resins, and waxes, prevent deposition-related runnability issues, and effectively remove stickies from recycled materials and broke using specialized formulations.

Press Felt Treatments & Cleaning

The press fabric is the heart of the paper machine. An efficient press section dramatically enhances the capabilities and efficiency of a paper machine. DuBois has more solutions for enhancing the performance of press fabric than any other paper chemicals supplier. DuBois even conducts a complete press section audit to determine the best solution for a given mill.
Our advanced press fabric cleaning technologies include DuPulse®, a patented application method that delivers higher concentration of cleaning chemistry deeper into the fabric, achieving more effective cleaning with no additional chemical use. DuBois offers solutions designed for high-speed machines and short dwell times, utilizing unique surfactant packages designed for extremely quick wetting to maximize cleaning even with low product concentrations. Our products are formulated to resist common contaminants like stickies, adhesives, and resins, keeping fabrics cleaner and extending the intervals between washes.

Dryer Fabric Cleaning

The openness and cleanliness of the dryer fabric has a significant impact on steam use in the drying section, DuBois has effective solutions for cleaning dryer sections. DuBois understands the special safety considerations associated with cleaning the dryer fabric due to the temperature and steam pressure of dryer cans.
Our dryer fabric cleaning solutions include products with advanced formulations that prioritize both cleaning efficiency and safety. We offer cleaners that are non-corrosive to skin and eyes as well as solutions for high temperature cleaning without damaging the fabrics or dryer cans.

Through Air Drying (TAD) Fabric Treatments and Cleaning

The fabric of a through air drying tissue machine is critical to production. It must be capable of molding the sheet to the desired 3D structure, provide uniform drying, and have the proper adhesion and sheet release properties.
DuBois offers a comprehensive line of TAD fabric treatment products specifically designed to address these needs. Our solutions include traditional release chemistries as well as synthetic, oil-free alternatives that ensure superior fabric performance. We also provide contaminant control products to prevent TAD fabric deposition and plugging, maintaining the fabric’s openness and efficiency. Our TAD fabric cleaning products are formulated to effectively clean and restore fabric performance, ensuring optimal production quality and consistency.
