In industrial production and daily life, the generation of foam often brings many inconveniences. Defoamer is an additive that can effectively eliminate foam and is widely used in various fields. Understanding the types and application areas of defoamers will help us to better select and use defoamers. This article will introduce the main types of defoamers and their application areas. Defoamer
1. Silicone defoamer.
Silicone defoamer is a kind of siloxane-based defoamer, which has good defoaming and foam inhibition properties. They are suitable for defoaming treatment in harsh environments such as high temperature, strong acid, strong alkali, etc. Silicone defoamers are widely used in textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, coatings, inks, chemicals, food processing and other fields.
2. Polyether defoamer.
Polyether defoamer is a class of defoamer with polyether as the main component, which has good defoaming and foam inhibition properties. They are suitable for defoaming at low and medium temperatures. Polyether defoamers are widely used in textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, coatings, inks, chemicals, food processing and other fields.
3. Polyether modified polysiloxane defoamer.
Polyether-modified polysiloxane defoamer is a class of defoamer with polyether and polysiloxane as the main components, which has the advantages of organosilicon and polyether defoamer. They have good defoaming and foam inhibition properties, and are suitable for defoaming treatment under various temperature conditions. Polyether-modified polysiloxane defoamers are widely used in textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, coatings, inks, chemicals, food processing and other fields.
4. Mineral oil defoamer.
Mineral oil defoamer is a kind of defoamer with mineral oil as the main component, which has good defoaming and foam inhibition properties. They are suitable for defoaming treatment in harsh environments such as high temperature, strong acid, strong alkali, etc. Mineral oil defoamers are widely used in textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, coatings, inks, chemicals, food processing and other fields.
5. Natural oil defoamer.
Natural oil defoamer is a kind of defoamer with natural oil as the main component, which has good defoaming and foam inhibition properties. They are suitable for defoaming at low and medium temperatures. Natural oil defoamers are widely used in textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, coatings, inks, chemicals, food processing and other fields.
