Defoamer, also known as antifoaming agent, is an industrial additive that eliminates foam. It can reduce and prevent the appearance of foam in industrial production liquids. The appearance of foam is suppressed by its anti-foam properties.
In industrial production, the appearance of foam is often encountered, which affects various performance parameters of product performance. Therefore, the help of defoamer is needed. It has a high affinity with the air-liquid surface, which will make the foam unstable. This causes the bubbles to burst.
According to chemical composition, defoamer can be divided into: silicone, polyether, mineral oil, alcohol and other types, with faster defoaming speed, longer defoaming time, wider range of applicable media, and even high temperature , strong acid, strong alkali and other harsh medium environments can be applied to the characteristics.

Where can defoamers be used?
Food manufacturing
When used as a food additive, it is mainly used to inhibit the foam in the process of food production and consumption. As far as the current situation of food is concerned, edible defoamer has become a preparation material for many kinds of food.
Take the production of tofu as an example, because a lot of foam will appear during the production process. In order to prevent the foam from overflowing and causing harmful substances, manufacturers list edible antifoaming agents as an ingredient in foods such as tofu.
Industrial use
In many industrial production and products, defoamer can be used: papermaking, paint, ink, sewage treatment, oil field drilling, metal processing, adhesives, power plant desulfurization, etc., such as: coating defoamer, ink defoamer , water treatment defoamer, etc.
Medicinal use
Defoamer can also be used in medicine and medicine. In terms of pharmaceuticals, it is mainly used for the defoaming of solvents, ointment bases, extracts, oral liquids and injections, and can also be used for the inspection of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. It is also directly used in preparations, such as simethicone tablets, the main function is to relieve abdominal distension, it is a drug for gastrointestinal diseases, and clinically it is mainly used to treat discomfort caused by excessive gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract.
Generally speaking, the application fields of defoamer are very wide and various. It is the mission of every chemical company to research, manufacture and continuously use these chemical raw materials to benefit everyone by relying on human wisdom.
