1. Wide application of environmentally friendly materials: The increasingly strict environmental regulations have prompted companies to continuously develop environmentally friendly water-based defoamers. In the future, water-based defoamers that are bio based, biodegradable, and have low VOC (volatile organic compound) content will become the mainstream in the market. These products not only reduce their impact on the environment during use, but also safely degrade after disposal, reducing ecological risks.
2. Breakthrough in efficient compounding technology: In order to improve the comprehensive performance of water-based defoamers, compounding technology will be further developed. By scientifically and reasonably combining different types of defoamer components, complementary advantages can be achieved, improving defoaming speed, enhancing defoaming persistence, and reducing dosage and cost. In addition, the application of nanotechnology and microcapsule technology will also provide new ideas for optimizing the performance of water-based defoamers.
3. Exploration of intelligent applications: With the rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, intelligent applications will become a new trend in the field of water-based defoamers. The intelligent monitoring system can monitor the generation of foam in real time, and automatically adjust the dosage and timing of defoamer, so as to achieve accurate control of defoaming process. At the same time, the prediction model based on big data analysis can help enterprises predict the foam problem in advance, optimize production processes and improve production efficiency.
4. The rise of customized solutions: Different industries and processes have varying demands for water-based defoamers. In the future, enterprises will pay more attention to providing customized solutions to meet the personalized needs of customers. Through in-depth understanding of customers' production process, raw material characteristics and the specific situation of foam problems, enterprises can customize the most suitable defoamer products for customers to achieve the best defoaming effect.
5. Strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation: The research and application of water-based defoamers involve multiple disciplines such as chemistry, materials science, and mechanical engineering. In the future, interdisciplinary collaboration will become an important driving force for the development of water-based defoamer technology. By strengthening communication and cooperation between different disciplines, wisdom and resources from all parties can be gathered to jointly overcome technical challenges and promote continuous innovation and progress in water-based defoamer technology.

In summary, the performance optimization and future development trends of water-based defoamers will revolve around environmental friendliness, efficiency, intelligence, and customization. With the continuous advancement of technology and changing market demands, we have reason to believe that future water-based defoamers will be more environmentally friendly, efficient, intelligent, and personalized, providing stronger support for the production and development of various industries.
