Malodors in the papermaking workshop, off-odors in finished paper, and microbial slime growth are persistent issues that affect worker comfort, product quality, and production efficiency. A poorly chosen biocide deodorant can fail to eliminate odors, harm downstream microorganisms, or even affect paper strength.
PR-03 Biocide Deodorant from Luterra Advanced Materials is formulated with high-efficiency biocides and odor-decomposing components. It complies with tissue paper hygiene standards, is compatible with various additives, and does not harm water treatment microorganisms. This guide covers five critical mistakes to avoid when selecting and using a biocide deodorant.
Mistake #1: Choosing a Product That Only Masks Odors Instead of Eliminating Them
Some "deodorants" simply use fragrances to mask malodors, leaving the root cause-volatile organic compounds and microbial metabolites-untreated. Once the fragrance fades, the odor returns.
PR-03 is a true biocide deodorant that combines high-efficiency biocides with odor-decomposing components. It addresses issues such as workshop malodors, paper odor, and microbial slime growth at the source, effectively decomposing odor-causing compounds rather than just covering them.
Mistake #2: Using a Product That Harms Your Water Treatment System
If your mill has a biological wastewater treatment system, using a biocide that kills the beneficial bacteria in your treatment plant is counterproductive. It can disrupt your effluent quality and lead to compliance issues.
PR-03 does not harm water treatment microorganisms when used as directed. This allows you to control odors and slime in the process without sacrificing the performance of your biological treatment system.
Mistake #3: Overlooking Impact on Pulp Strength and Sizing
Some biocides or deodorants can react with pulp fibers, degrading strength, or interfere with sizing agents, reducing their effectiveness.
PR-03 is compatible with various additives used in pulping and wet end processes. It does not affect pulp strength or sizing performance, ensuring that your chemical program remains intact.
Mistake #4: Using the Wrong Addition Method for the Problem
Different applications-continuous control vs. targeted shock treatment-require different strategies. Using the wrong method wastes chemical and fails to solve the problem.
For optimal results with PR-03:
Continuous addition: Add neat or after dilution of 5–10 times continuously to the pulp tower, white water tank, or wastewater treatment tank. Dosage: 50–200 ppm (based on system water volume).
Batch/shock addition: After dilution of 3–5 times, spray onto contaminated areas and let sit for 10–20 minutes.
Severe conditions: Under high temperature, high humidity, or severe odor conditions, dosage can be increased to 250 ppm.
Mistake #5: Ignoring Safety, Corrosivity, and Environmental Compliance
Some biocidal products are highly toxic, corrosive, or have poor biodegradability, posing risks to workers, equipment, and the environment.
PR-03 features low toxicity, low corrosivity, and easy degradation, complying with discharge standards for pulp and paper industry water pollutants. It is safe and environmentally friendly, aligning with modern mill safety and sustainability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can it be mixed with other water treatment chemicals?
A: It can be used together with flocculants, PFS, PAC, PDMDAAC, etc. It is recommended to add them at separate points to avoid direct high-concentration mixing.
Q: Is the quality stable for long-term supply?
A: Batch-to-batch concentration is stable, and the sterilization and odor removal effects are consistent. It can serve as a long-term replacement for similar products with high cost-effectiveness.
Q: Can I get a sample?
A: Yes. Samples and customized formulation support are available. For any process adaptation issues, please contact us for professional solutions.
