Paper and Pulp Chemicals
Sceptre's Paper and Pulp Chemical range supports the efficient, high-quality production of paper and paperboard at mills across West Africa. Our specialty chemicals address the full range of wet-end chemistry challenges — from fibre retention and drainage through to final sheet quality and machine protection.
Our portfolio for the paper and pulp industry includes retention and drainage aids, defoamers and antifoams, biocides and slimicides, sizing agents, strength additives, coating chemicals, and cleaning and descaling compounds for paper machine components. All products are supplied with dosage recommendation support from our experienced technical team.
Key Benefits & Features
Improved Retention and Drainage
Our retention aid program significantly improves fine fibre and filler retention on the wire, reducing furnish loss and improving paper machine runnability.
Effective Defoaming
Silicone and polyether defoamers control foam in pulp chests, savealls, and white water systems — preventing sheet defects and process interruptions.
Slimicide and Biofilm Control
Non-oxidizing and oxidizing biocides control the slime-forming microorganisms that cause sheet breaks, odour problems, and corrosion in the paper machine system.
Machine Cleaning Efficiency
Our paper machine cleaning chemicals remove pitch, scale, and deposits from forming fabrics, press felts, dryer cylinders, and press rolls — extending component life.
Strength Enhancement
Wet and dry strength additives that improve paper mechanical properties — enabling the use of recycled or lower-quality furnish without sacrificing finished product quality.
Reduced Environmental Footprint
Our low-dose, high-performance formulations minimize chemical consumption and wastewater treatment load — supporting your mill's environmental compliance targets.
