Mechanism of Action of a Water-based Defoaming Agent

Mechanism of Action of a Water-based Defoaming Agent

With the continuous progress of industrial technology, the bubble problem in the industrial production process has attracted increasing attention. Foam not only affects the appearance and performance of the product, but also causes damage to production equipment and wastes energy. In order to solve this problem, the water-based defoaming agent has emerged.

Composition of industrial water-based defoaming agents

1. Silicone: it is the most commonly used ingredient in industrial water-based defoaming agent, which has the advantages of fast, lasting and environmental protection.

2. Silicon-free: These defoamer are usually used in applications that need to avoid silicon contamination or are sensitive to silicon, such as food, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and other industries.

3. Polyethers: mainly composed of polyether compounds, with good defoaming performance and chemical stability, most of them are used in paint and ink, detergent and detergent, plastics and rubber industry, paper making and other industries.

Mechanism of action of industrial water-based defoaming agents

1. Dissolution and dispersion: The defoaming agent forms a thin film on the surface of the foam to prevent the foam from expanding further.

2. Inhibit foam generation: antifoaming agent can change the surface tension of the bubble, so that the bubble is easy to rupture.

3. Improve the stability of bubbles: defaming ams can improve the stability of bubbles and make them not easy to aggregate.

       4. Increase the surface roughness of the bubbles: defoaming agents can increase the roughness of the bubble surface and reduce the surface tension of the bubbles.

Role in different industries

1. Coating industry: in the process of coating production, the water-based defoaming agent can prevent the coating from producing foam and improve the performance of the coating.

2. Ink industry: in the process of ink production, water-based defoaming agent can prevent ink from producing foam and improve the quality of ink.

3. Detergent industry: in the process of detergent production, water-based defoaming agent can prevent detergent from producing foam and improve the washing effect.

4. Paper industry: in the process of papermaking, water-based defoaming agent can prevent pulp from producing foam and improve the quality of pulp.

5. Rubber industry: in the process of rubber production, water-based defoaming agent can prevent rubber from producing foam and improve the physical properties of rubber.

6. Food industry: in the process of food processing, water-based defoaming agent can prevent food foam and ensure food quality.

As an efficient and environmentally friendly foam control product, industrial water-based defoaming agent plays an important role in industrial production. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, the industrial water-based defoaming agent will continue to be optimized and innovated to provide more high-quality and environmental protection solutions for industrial production.
