In many industrial fields such as chemical industry, food, pharmacy, textile, coating, etc., the production of foam often brings a series of adverse effects, such as reducing production efficiency, affecting product quality, increasing energy consumption, etc. Therefore, defoaming powder has emerged as an efficient defoamer. Defoamer, as its
name implies, is a chemical additive in the form of powder. It can quickly destroy the surface tension of liquid, make foam burst quickly and prevent its regeneration, so as to eliminate foam. It has a wide range of application scenarios, from stirring, fermentation, and filtration in industrial production processes to washing and cleaning in daily
life, where the presence of defoaming powder can be seen.
The main components of defoaming powder are diverse, including but not limited to organosilicon, mineral oil, polyether, fatty acid ester, etc. Defoamer powders with different compositions have different characteristics and applicable ranges. For example, organic silicon defoaming powder is often used in high demand fields such as
petroleum and chemical industry due to its excellent high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and good defoaming effect; Mineral oil defoaming powder is widely used in food processing, sewage treatment and other fields due to its low cost and wide applicability. In addition, defoaming powder also has good dispersibility, is
easily soluble in water or non-aqueous solvents, can quickly exert its effect in a short period of time, and has little impact on the stability of the system.
