Polyclean was specially developed to prevent deposits on drying cylinders, drying fabrics and guide rolls. The polymer will be applied undiluted as a thin film by using a specially designed applicator, the PCA, to the surface to be treated. Polyclean forms over the entire machine width a continuous "non-stick coating" which prevents the tearing out of fibers, fines and fillers from the paper surface.
The advantages of using Polyclean 6100 are:
- clean drying cylinders, doctor blades, drying fabrics and rolls
- more uniform moisture profile
- reduction in specific steam consumption, lower energy costs
- reduced cleaning time
- significantly less dust in the dry end
- increase in temperature of the drying cylinder, thereby increasing the speed
- less dust on the paper surface, especially advantageous for printing papers
- less sheet breaks
