Antifoam or antifoam or defoamer is a substance that is used to prevent the formation of foam in the production process of industrial products. In industrial processes, foam causes serious problems and reduces production quality. Defects in surface coatings, preventing containers from being completely filled or overfilling them are among the disadvantages and problems of creating foam or foam in industries. To prevent these problems, it is recommended to use suitable types of anti-foam. Care must be taken in choosing the types of anti-foam and according to the industry and testing.
Types of anti-foams have low viscosity and spread quickly on floor surfaces. These compounds destabilize the floor layers and cause air bubbles to burst and destroy the floor surface. Antifoams are chemical additives and can be bought in the market under other names such as antifoam, defoamer, or defoamer. Silicone, non-silicone, sieve and even edible anti-foam are sold to prevent the creation of foam or remove small and large bubbles.
Benefits
Antifoams reduce foam on the surface of liquid compounds. These compounds even prevent the formation of more foam in the product. One of the advantages of antifoams is that these compounds are still effective in different temperature conditions, pH changes and different pressure conditions and are compatible with all kinds of chemicals. The use of different types of anti-foam (anti-foam) increases the production efficiency, their non-use makes it difficult to control the foam in manufacturing industries. Useful filling of containers. Foam may even slow down chemical reactions in industries.
Anti -floor types
Antifoam types are produced in edible and industrial grades and each one is used in the respective industries. Below are the types of industrial antifoams.
Alcoholic antifoam
Silicone antifoam
