With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, the demand for green production in various industries is becoming increasingly urgent. In this context, the research and development of environmentally friendly defoamers have become a hot topic in the industry. Compared to traditional defoamers, environmentally friendly defoamers not only ensure defoaming effect, but also pay more attention to environmental friendliness and harmless human health.

Environmentally friendly defoamers utilize renewable resources such as plant oils, starch, etc., develop bio based defoamers, reduce dependence on fossil resources, and lower carbon emissions during production. Reasonably control the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reduce pollution to the atmospheric environment, and comply with environmental regulations. Environmentally friendly defoamers should also greatly improve their efficiency and durability, reduce their usage, lower production costs, and minimize environmental pollution. In the future, we need to develop a large number of environmentally friendly defoamers with multiple functions such as anti-corrosion, antibacterial, and thickening to meet diverse needs.

Of course, there are also many challenges faced by environmentally friendly defoamers. The first consideration is their cost. The production cost of environmentally friendly defoamers is usually higher than that of traditional products. How to balance cost and performance is a problem that enterprises need to solve. Furthermore, there are technical challenges that need to be overcome to achieve dual optimization of environmental protection and performance, such as improving defoaming speed and enhancing stability.

In addition, we also need to consider the current market acceptance. The market awareness and acceptance of environmentally friendly defoamers need to be improved, and we need to increase publicity and promotion efforts.

In the future, the development of environmentally friendly defoamers is the trend. Although facing many challenges, with the continuous progress of technology and the promotion of environmental policies, their application prospects will become increasingly broad.
