Foam generation is a common challenge in chemical processing, water treatment, food production, coatings, and countless other industrial systems. Whether it's during mixing, agitation, fermentation, or transport, uncontrolled foam can lead to inefficiencies, product loss, contamination, and mechanical issues.

Antifoams and defoamers are formulated to prevent or eliminate foam formation in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. These products can be silicone-based, mineral oil-based, polyether-based, or made from natural ingredients—each optimized for specific process conditions, compatibilities, and regulatory requirements.

Types of Antifoams & Defoamers

• Silicone-Based: Highly efficient at low concentrations; ideal for a wide range of industrial applications
• Non-Silicone: Suitable for applications where silicone contamination must be avoided
• Oil-Based: Mineral or vegetable oil carriers with hydrophobic particles
• Water-Based: Emulsions for easier handling and compatibility with aqueous systems
• Food-Grade: NSF-certified or compliant with food contact regulations

Key Applications

• Paints, inks, coatings, and adhesives
• Wastewater and effluent treatment
• Fermentation and bioprocessing systems
• Textile and pulp & paper production
• Food and beverage manufacturing
• Metalworking fluids and lubricants

Performance Benefits

• Prevents foam formation before it starts (antifoaming)
• Rapidly knocks down existing foam (defoaming)
• Improves process efficiency and equipment reliability
• Compatible with a wide variety of pH, temperature, and shear conditions
• Low dose rates reduce cost-in-use
