Industrial foam refers to a large number of bubbles produced in industrial production, which will reduce production efficiency, increase production costs, and even affect product quality. Therefore, how to deal with industrial foam has become an important issue. Among the many defoamers, silicone defoamers are favored for their excellent performance. This article will coverSilicone-based defoamercharacteristics and applications in the treatment of industrial foams.
Silicone defoamers are a class of defoamers widely used in industrial production, which can be further divided into categories such as silicone polymer defoamers according to their composition and characteristics. This type of defoamer has strong antifoaming properties and can effectively prevent the formation and development of bubbles. In general, silica defoamers have the advantages of strong defoaming ability, good foam inhibition performance, wide range of use, and non-toxic to the environment.
Silicon defoamers are mainly used in defoaming in the production process of detergents, papermaking, pulp, sugar, electroplating, fertilizers, additives, wastewater treatment, etc. In the petroleum industry, it is widely used for the desulfurization of natural gas and the acceleration of oil and gas separationIt is also used for the drying of ethylene glycol, the extraction of aromatic hydrocarbons, the processing of asphalt, the dewaxing of lubricating oils, etc. In the textile industry, it is used for defoaming in the process of dyeing, scouring, sizing, etc.;In the chemical industry, it is used for defoaming in the process of synthetic resins, latex, coatings, inks, etcIn the food industry, it is used for defoaming in various concentration, fermentation, and distillation processes.
Silicone-based defoamerIt is a polymer-based deaerator that can be used for solvent-free and solvent-based unsaturated polyesters and adhesives. It is suitable for all unsaturated polyester resins and defoamers of various processing methods, with strong defoaming and foam inhibition, especially for high-viscosity two-component epoxy resin and two-component PU resin system, film thickness epoxy floor coating and screen ink foam inhibition, without affecting leveling and gloss.
