Chemical antifoams have proven to be effective and economical
Foam is a large volume of bubbles produced when certain types of gases disperse into a liquid and then the dispersion stabilizes. A high-strength liquid film surrounds the bubbles, forming large amounts of unproductive foam. Although the real cause of foam is a complex physical and chemical study, its presence poses serious problems to the operation of industrial processes and the quality of finished products. If not properly controlled, foam can reduce equipment capacity and increase processing time and expense.

Effective chemical defoamers must meet the following requirements:
• Has lower surface tension than the system to which it is added.
• Easily dispersed in the system.
• Have poor or low solubility (incompatibility) in the system.
• Stay inert.
• No heavy residue or odor.

Silicone antidoams can effectively meet these requirements.
  • Agriculture
    Foam formation may occur during the manufacturing and packaging of the dosage form or during field application. Blistering can cause serious problems. • Prevent, reduce or eliminate foam during formulation and application • Improves plant spreading and wetting properties • Save water, increase productivity and protect crops
  • Water Treatment
    Our silicone defoamers are stronger than organic products, safe to handle, easy to dose and easy to disperse, helping to improve water quality. • Durability in all stages of the cleaning process • High efficiency at low doses • Improved process reliability of water treatment plants • Low chemical oxygen demand
  • Paper and Pulp
    In the papermaking industry, foaming problems are common in various sections of the papermaking process, such as pulping, papermaking, coating and wastewater treatment. Our defoaming agent has good defoaming properties and defoaming durability. • Good defoaming effect under high temperature/high pH conditions • Long-lasting defoaming and anti-foaming properties • Reduce oil bleach and stains on paper
  • Metal Working
    Products specially developed for the metalworking fluid industry. This formulation additive can be used to defoam a range of metalworking fluid formulations, including various emulsions and microemulsions, in a variety of solubilities and chemical solutions. • Highly compatible with various metalworking fluid formulations • Good defoaming and foam suppression properties • Long-term stability
  • Home Care
    High-performance cleaners must provide cleaning and hygiene in a variety of applications. Excessive foam will affect the cleaning effect. Benefits you'll get from our defoamers: • Very effective in a variety of surfactant systems • Easily combined with other defoaming agents • Effective regardless of water hardness
  • Textile
    During wet processing of textiles, foam produced due to vigorous circulation of liquids through various surfactant additives and air can have adverse effects. Defoaming agents help prevent foam from negatively affecting the pre-treatment and dyeing process. • Provide lower usage levels • Rapid defoaming and long-lasting foam suppression • Reduce stain and value loss
  • Gas and Oil
    Our silicone defoamers are used in the oil and gas industry where they have proven effective at controlling foam in a variety of applications such as diesel fuel, gas sweetening butadiene units, gas oil separators, drilling muds wait. : • Provide lower usage levels • Stability in adverse weather conditions • Easy to handle
  • Chemicals and Plastics
    High-performance cleaners must provide cleaning and hygiene in a variety of applications. Excessive foam will affect the cleaning effect. Benefits you'll get from our defoamers: • Very effective in a variety of surfactant systems • Easily combined with other defoaming agents • Effective regardless of water hardness
