Defoamer compositions are described and the use of defoamer compositions in paper and pulp mills is described, especially for use at the brown stock washing steps in a pulp mill. The defoamer composition comprises: a) about 20 wt % to about 90 wt % of at least one organophosphorous component (e.g., compound or polymer, n-tributoxyethyl phosphate); b) about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % of at least one silane treated silica; c) about 0.5 wt % to about 10 wt % of at least one surfactant that is anionic or non-ionic; and d) optionally, water or an aqueous liquid.

Provided is a glass interleaving paper capable of suppressing scratches on surfaces of glass plates in a manufacturing process or a distribution process for storing and transporting a plurality of stacked glass plates. The glass interleaving paper is characterized in that a main component is cellulose pulp, a basis weight is 10 to 100 g/m.sup.2, and content of mineral having a Mohs hardness of at least 5 is 400 ppm or less. When the mineral having a Mohs hardness of at least 5 is a silicate mineral, the glass interleaving paper is more useful.

A process for the manufacture of hydrophobic paper using a pulp comprising a slurry of cellulosic fibers in an aqueous medium comprising an alkoxysilane. A paper or cardboard packaging product comprising cellulosic fibers having a silane residue substantially uniformly distributed throughout the paper or cardboard and bonded to the cellulosic fibers predominantly through SiO bonds.

A method of making transfer paper in which surfactant is applied either after the step of refining and before the paper sheet formed or on the surface of the paper sheet. The surfactant includes aqueous wax emulsion or fluorochemical. The present disclosure accomplishes papermaking by paper machine, with no need of coater.
