With the rapid development of the construction industry and the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, defoamers for concrete are facing new development trends and challenges. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, environmentally friendly defoamers will become the mainstream of defoamers for concrete in the future. This requires defoamers to have characteristics such as low toxicity, low pollution, and biodegradability during production and use.

High performance concrete requires higher requirements for defoamers, including efficient defoaming, long-term foam suppression, and no impact on concrete performance. Therefore, developing high-performance defoamers will be an important direction for defoamers used in concrete in the future. In order to meet the needs of different construction conditions, defoamers for concrete will develop towards multifunctionality in the future, such as having multiple functions such as defoaming, thickening, and impermeability.

However, the production cost of environmentally friendly and high-performance defoamers is usually high, and how to reduce costs while ensuring performance is one of the main challenges currently faced by defoamers for concrete. With the continuous improvement of concrete performance requirements in the construction industry, it is necessary to constantly innovate the production technology and formula of defoamers to meet market demand. With the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the production and use of defoamers for concrete will be subject to more restrictions. Enterprises need to closely monitor changes in relevant regulations and adjust production and sales strategies in a timely manner.

The development trend and challenges of defoamers used in concrete as important auxiliary materials in the construction industry cannot be ignored. Through continuous innovation and optimization, it is possible to promote the development of defoamers for concrete towards a more environmentally friendly, high-performance, and multifunctional direction, providing strong guarantees for the safety and durability of modern buildings.
