Overview of Defoamer
Defoamer, also known as an antifoaming agent, is a chemical additive designed to prevent or reduce foam formation in industrial and manufacturing processes. It is available in various forms such as liquid, powder, and emulsion, depending on the application requirements. Defoamers are widely used in industries where uncontrolled foam can affect productivity, product quality, or equipment efficiency.
Defoamers are essential in paints & coatings, water treatment, food processing, paper & pulp, and chemical manufacturing. They work by destabilizing foam bubbles, allowing them to collapse quickly, thus maintaining smooth process flow.
Other related products available on our website include Silicone Emulsion, Polyether Defoamer, and Fatty Acid Defoamer, which are commonly used in industrial and chemical applications to control foam.
