In the construction industry, defoamers play a crucial role. From cement production to concrete mixing, and then to the processing of various building materials, the foam problem has always plagued the construction industry. Foam not only affects production efficiency, but also may have a serious impact on product quality. Therefore, the use of defoamers has become the key to solving this problem.
Defoamer can quickly eliminate foam in liquid and prevent foam from interfering with production process. In the construction industry, defoamers are widely used in the production process of materials such as cement, mortar, and concrete. By adding an appropriate amount of defoamer, the production of foam can be effectively controlled, the production efficiency can be improved, and the stability and quality of building materials can be guaranteed.
There are various types of defoamers in the construction industry, each with its unique characteristics and application scope. Common defoamers in the construction industry include organosilicon defoamers, polyether defoamers, mineral oil defoamers, etc.
Organosilicon defoamers have been widely used in the construction industry due to their excellent defoaming performance and stability. It can effectively reduce the surface tension of liquid, prevent the formation of foam, and has good heat resistance, oxygen resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties. Polyether defoamers are known for their excellent dispersibility and anti foaming properties. It can disperse rapidly in liquid to form a stable defoaming layer and effectively inhibit the production of foam. In addition, polyether defoamers also have good biocompatibility and environmental performance, suitable for various environmentally friendly building material production processes. Mineral oil defoamers are favored for their low cost and wide applicability. It can maintain stable defoaming performance in various harsh environments and is suitable for the production process of various building materials.
In addition, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the application of green, non-toxic and harmless defoamers in the construction industry is becoming more and more widespread. These defoamers can not only effectively eliminate foam, but also reduce environmental pollution, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.
