• Applications: Industrial water treatment, metalworking fluids, petroleum extraction, paper industry, construction materials, textile printing, others

Introduction

Silicone defoamers are crucial additives in various industries and are crafted through meticulous processes that blend silicone oils with compatible solvents, emulsifiers, or inorganic fillers. The resulting compounds exhibit exceptional defoaming capabilities, making them indispensable in diverse applications.

Characteristics

Silicone defoamers are distinguished by several key characteristics that enhance their performance across different environments:

• Defoaming Power: They excel in eliminating foam due to their ability to disrupt bubble formation and inhibit foam stabilization.
• Chemical Stability: Their siloxane structure ensures robust chemical stability, enabling consistent performance even in harsh chemical environments.
• Temperature Resilience: They maintain effectiveness across a wide range of temperatures, from extreme cold to high heat, without compromising performance.

Applications

Silicone defoamers find widespread utility across multiple industries:

• Industrial Water Treatment: Used to control foam in cooling water systems, wastewater treatment plants, and industrial processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Essential additives in metalworking fluids like cutting oils and machining coolants to enhance performance and extend tool life.
• Petroleum Extraction: Applied in drilling muds to prevent foam formation, improving efficiency in oil and gas extraction.
• Paper Industry: Vital for preventing foam during paper production, ensuring smooth operations and high-quality paper products.
• Construction Materials: Incorporated into materials such as paints, coatings, and adhesives to eliminate foam during manufacturing and application.
• Textile Printing: Utilized in dyeing processes to manage foam and ensure even dye distribution on textiles.

Packaging and Storage

• Packaging Options: Typically packaged in 25L and 200L drums.
• Storage Conditions: Stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and sources of heat and free from exposure to acids or alkaline substances, which could compromise its chemical integrity.
