With the rapid development of the construction industry and the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, defoamers, as important industrial additives, are increasingly widely used in the construction field. In order to meet market demand and environmental requirements, defoamers in the construction industry are constantly innovating and developing.

On the one hand, traditional defoamers such as mineral oil defoamers, although inexpensive, have problems such as environmental pollution and human health risks. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly, efficient, and safe defoamers has become a trend in the industry. In recent years, new environmentally friendly defoamers such as biobased defoamers and nanomaterial defoamers have emerged continuously. These defoamers not only have excellent defoaming performance, but also reduce environmental pollution, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.

On the other hand, with the continuous improvement of performance requirements for defoamers in the construction industry, significant progress has been made in the research of composite defoamers and intelligent defoamers. Composite defoamers can overcome the limitations of a single defoamer by combining different types of defoamers, and improve the defoaming effect and applicability. And intelligent defoamers utilize modern information technology to achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment of the defoaming process, improving defoaming efficiency.

In addition, the development of defoamers in the construction industry is also showing a trend towards multifunctionality. Traditional defoamers mainly focus on defoaming and anti foaming functions, while modern defoamers have begun to integrate multiple functions such as defoaming, antibacterial, and anti mold to meet the demand for multifunctional materials in the construction industry. This multifunctional defoamer can not only improve the performance and quality of building materials, but also extend their service life and reduce maintenance costs.

In the future, defoamers in the construction industry will continue to develop towards high efficiency, environmental protection, green, and safety. With the advancement of technology and increasingly strict environmental regulations, new environmentally friendly defoamers, composite defoamers, intelligent defoamers, and multifunctional defoamers will become the mainstream in the market. At the same time, strengthening collaborative innovation and technological research and development in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, promoting the transformation, upgrading, and sustainable development of the defoamer industry, will also become an important trend in the development of defoamers in the construction industry.
