Defoamer is a substance that can reduce the surface tension of water, solution, suspension, etc., prevent the formation of foam, or reduce or eliminate the original foam. It is widely used in various fields such as petrochemicals, coatings and inks, textile printing and dyeing, food processing, papermaking, and sewage treatment. Defoamers have the characteristics of strong defoaming power, low dosage, chemical stability, good heat resistance, no physiological activity, and high safety, making them an indispensable and important additive in industrial production.

With the continuous development of industrial production and the rise of emerging industries, the market demand for defoamers continues to grow. Especially in the fields of electronic manufacturing, painting, building materials, food processing, etc., the application of defoamers is becoming increasingly widespread. The promotion of environmental policies has led to an increase in demand for water-based defoamers, and replacing traditional oil-based defoamers has become a trend, further promoting the development of the defoamer market. The continuous emergence of new materials, processes, and technologies has provided possibilities for improving the performance and expanding the application fields of defoamers. The research and application of environmentally friendly and multifunctional defoamers meet the market's demand for high-quality and high-performance materials.

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, green, non-toxic and harmless defoamers will become mainstream. Enterprises will pay more attention to the environmental performance and sustainability of their products, and launch more green and environmentally friendly defoamer products.

In the future, defoamers will develop towards multifunctionality, such as possessing antibacterial and anti-corrosion functions, to meet the personalized needs of users in different industries. Defoamers will pursue higher efficiency to meet the demand for rapid removal of bubbles in industrial production. The research and application of high-performance defoamers will become an important direction for the development of the industry. At the same time, the application fields of defoamers will also be further expanded, possibly involving new energy, electronic materials and other fields. With the rapid development of emerging industries, defoamers have broad application prospects in these fields.
