Defoamers are substances that can reduce the surface tension of water, solutions, suspensions, etc., preventing foam formation or reducing and eliminating existing foam. During industrial production processes, the generation of foam often affects production efficiency, product quality, and process stability, making the application of defoamers particularly important.
The mechanism of action of defoamers mainly involves destroying the stabilizing factors of foam, such as reducing the surface elasticity and surface viscosity of the foam, causing it to break. Common types of defoamers include silicone-based, polyether-based, fatty acid-based, etc. Among them, silicone-based defoamers are widely used in various fields due to their high efficiency, durability, non-toxicity, and non-pollution characteristics.
In terms of environmental protection, the use of defoamers can reduce the environmental pollution caused by foam. For example, in wastewater treatment processes, defoamers can effectively remove foam from wastewater, preventing it from overflowing and causing secondary pollution. Additionally, some environmentally friendly defoamers have biodegradability, enabling them to rapidly decompose after use without causing long-term environmental impact.
