Latest News and Developments:
Defoamer surfactant is a chemical additive that is used to prevent or break up foam. It comprises mineral oil or silicone and a hydrophobic solid, such as hydrophobic silica, ethylene-bis-stearamide, and fatty acid or alcohol. It works by disrupting the surfactant film that stabilizes the foam bubbles, causing them to collapse.
Defoamer surfactant helps in maintaining smooth and uninterrupted industrial processes. It benefits in improving production efficiency and reducing downtime that is associated with foam-related issues in industrial settings. It also aids in increasing the lifespan of industrial equipment and machinery.
Apart from this, defoamer surfactant is widely employed in the food and beverage (F&B) sector to prevent excessive foam that can affect the quality of the end food products. It also assists in maintaining enhanced freshness and quality of food items.
