In the construction industry, defoamers are an important component of concrete additives and their importance cannot be ignored. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, defoamers in the future construction industry will show a new trend of innovation and development.

With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, traditional chemical defoamers are gradually being restricted due to their impact on the environment. In the future, biodegradable defoamers will become a focus of research and development. These defoamers can not only effectively eliminate foam during construction, but also rapidly decompose in the natural environment to reduce environmental pollution.

Future defoamers will no longer be limited to a single defoaming function, but will develop towards multifunctionality. For example, defoamers with multiple functions such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-static will be more popular in the market. This multifunctional defoamer can not only improve the workability of concrete, but also enhance the durability and safety of buildings.

With the continuous development of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technology, defoamers in the future construction industry may incorporate intelligent elements. For example, sensors can monitor the foam in concrete in real time, and automatically adjust the amount and type of defoamer to achieve the best defoaming effect. The application of this intelligent defoamer will greatly improve construction efficiency and building quality.

In the future, the application of new preparation technologies and materials will promote the innovation and development of defoamers. For example, defoamers prepared using nanotechnology and novel catalysts will have higher defoaming efficiency and lower dosage. In addition, the application of new polymer materials and inorganic nanomaterials will also provide new ways to improve the performance of defoamers.
