With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and the deepening of sustainable development concepts, the paper industry, as one of the key industries in resource consumption and environmental pollution, is facing unprecedented transformation pressure. In this context, paper defoamers, as an indispensable and important additive in the paper industry, are particularly important for their green and sustainable development path.

In the production process of paper industry, due to factors such as raw materials, chemicals and mechanical agitation, a large number of foam are often produced. These foam not only affect production efficiency and reduce paper quality, but also may pose a potential threat to the environment and human health. Although traditional defoamers can effectively solve the foam problem, they often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are not easy to be biodegradable, which brings burden to the environment. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly and highly biodegradable paper defoamers has become a consensus in the industry.

In the future, paper defoamers will pay more attention to the selection of raw materials, prioritizing the use of non-toxic, harmless, and biodegradable raw materials such as natural plant extracts and biological enzymes. These raw materials not only have excellent defoaming properties, but also reduce environmental pollution.

In order to improve the production efficiency of defoamers and reduce energy consumption, the future production process of papermaking defoamers will pay more attention to energy conservation, emission reduction, and recycling. By optimizing the production process, adopting advanced production equipment and technology, efficient production and low-energy operation of defoamers can be achieved. In order to meet the diversified needs of the paper industry, future paper defoamers will develop towards multifunctionality. For example, developing defoamers with antibacterial, anti-corrosion, whitening and other functions to improve the comprehensive performance and added value of paper. At the same time, these multifunctional defoamers can also reduce the amount of other chemicals added to a certain extent, further reducing environmental pollution.

With the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, the application of defoamers in papermaking will become more intelligent in the future. By means of real-time monitoring of foam production and adjusting the amount of defoamer added, the precise delivery and efficient use of defoamer can be achieved. This can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce resource waste and environmental pollution.

The application of environmentally friendly paper defoamers will promote the development of the paper industry towards green, low-carbon, and circular directions. By reducing harmful substance emissions and improving resource utilization, the paper industry can reduce environmental pollution and damage. The application of multifunctional paper defoamers will enhance the comprehensive performance and added value of paper, making it more in line with market demand and consumer expectations. This will help enhance the market competitiveness and brand image of paper companies. By optimizing production processes and implementing intelligent applications, the production and use of paper defoamers will place greater emphasis on the recycling of resources and the harmless treatment of waste. This will help promote the development of circular economy and achieve coordinated development of economy, society, and environment.
