High-Quality Pulp Through Customized Chemicals
High-quality paper and board products require top-quality pulp. Whether strength, brightness, or smoothness is required - BIM Kemi's experts find the right solution. Through their deep process know-how combined with customized specialty chemicals and analytical tools, they help pulp manufacturers get the most out of the raw material wood.
Wood fibers are a limited resource. To produce quality pulp cost-effectively and sustainably, efficient chemical programs are needed throughout the entire process. Even small changes in the system can bring cost advantages, eliminate bottlenecks, and increase production. BIM's pulp specialists know exactly what matters and how to implement it. Benefit from their expertise, chemical solutions, and the BIM way of working to create real added value for your process.

The Organic BIM Program for Pulp
BIM Kemi's organic product portfolio includes powerful solutions for the key challenges in pulp production:
• BIM Antipitch (AP) - Dispersants for controlling pitch deposits
• BIM Fibre (FP) - Surface technology for improving pulping and oxygen delignification
• BIM Antifoam (AF) - Silicone-based defoamers and drainage enhancers

- BIM Antipitch (AP) - Proven for over 30 years
The dispersants of the BIM Antipitch series reliably solve problems with pitch deposits. The advantages:
• Applicable in black liquor, bleaching, and the dryer section
• Effective in acidic, neutral, and alkaline ranges
• Clean process and clean pulp
• Less extractives in the pulp
• Improved runnability

- BIM Fibre (FP) - 20 years of experience in pulping technology
BIM Fibre's surface technology has been improving wood pulping for 20 years and replaces anthraquinone (AQ). The advantages:
• Better penetration of cooking liquor into wood chips for more uniform pulping
• Reduction of H-factor, alkali, steam, and time
• Reduction and stabilization of extractive load
• Less rejects, higher kappa number possible
• Improved physical properties of the pulp
• Reduced evaporator load
• Yield increase
• Reduced bleaching chemical consumption
• Improved brown stock washing

- BIM Antifoam (AF) - Leading in defoamers
As a leading company for defoamers and drainage enhancers, BIM Kemi always offers the latest, most efficient, and most economical solutions. The selection includes silicone emulsions as well as oil-alcohol mixtures for a wide range of applications:
• Brown stock washing
• Evaporation
• Debarking
• Bleaching
• Wastewater applications
• Dryer section
BIM Antifoam increases washing yield and pulp quality, improves chemical recovery, and reduces foaming, bleaching chemical, water, and energy consumption. Development focuses on minimizing silicone carry-over, improving process cleanliness, and eliminating paper spots. Consistent quality, high manufacturing yield, and green energy lower the cost of use for customers.

The Inorganic BIM Program for Pulp
BIM Kemi also has effective solutions for inorganic challenges in pulp production:
• BIM Scale Inhibition (SI) - Dispersants against inorganic deposits
• BIM Scale Removal (SC) - Cleaning chemicals for removing deposits
• BIM Metal Sequestering (MS) - Program against harmful metal reactions

- BIM Scale Inhibition (SI) - Prevents crystal deposits
The dispersants of the BIM SI series prevent the formation of metal crystals and deposits such as:
• Barium sulfate
• Calcium oxalate
• Calcium carbonate
• Calcium sulfate
• Calcium phosphonate

- BIM Scale Removal (SC) - Removes stubborn deposits
Continuous treatment with BIM SC products dissolves inorganic deposits such as barium sulfate, calcium oxalate, and carbonates.

- BIM Metal Sequestering (MS) - Binds harmful metals
The BIM MS program prevents unwanted reactions of manganese, iron, and copper with pulp and bleaching agents. The green, phosphorus-free solution replaces EDTA, DTPA, and magnesium sulfate in oxygen delignification and peroxide bleaching.
