NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to announce the availability of its advanced 30% Silicone Emulsion Antifoam Agent, a powerful solution designed to combat unwanted foam in a wide array of industrial applications. Foam formation is a common challenge in many chemical and industrial processes, hindering efficiency, reducing production capacity, causing overflow issues, and negatively impacting product quality. Our high-concentration silicone emulsion is formulated to effectively control foam, ensuring smoother operations and improved yield.

This particular product stands out due to its high concentration of active silicone content at 30%, offering significant antifoaming power even at low addition rates. This efficiency translates directly into cost savings and reduced environmental impact compared to less concentrated alternatives. The liquid emulsion form makes it easy to handle, disperse, and integrate into existing processes without requiring complex dispersion equipment.

A key advantage of our 30% Silicone Emulsion Antifoam Agent is its exceptional longevity in foam inhibition. Unlike some defoamers that provide only temporary relief, this formulation offers sustained foam control, maintaining process stability over extended periods. This long-lasting effect is crucial in continuous processes such as fermentation, wastewater treatment, and chemical synthesis, where consistent performance is essential.

The product is supplied as a ready-to-use milky white liquid with a typical viscosity ranging from 3000 to 5000 mm²/s at 25ºC and a pH between 6 and 8. These physical characteristics make it highly versatile and compatible with many systems. Furthermore, it can be easily diluted with water to achieve the desired concentration for specific applications, allowing for tailored foam control strategies.

Applications for this high-performance antifoam agent are extensive and diverse. It is highly effective in aqueous systems and widely used across various industrial sectors. Examples include:

Papermaking: Controlling foam in pulp preparation, papermachine wet end, and coating applications to improve paper quality and machine speed.

Textile Processing: Eliminating foam in dyeing, printing, and finishing baths to ensure uniform color distribution and process efficiency.

Water Treatment: Suppressing foam in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, including activated sludge processes, to prevent overflow and improve oxygen transfer efficiency.

Paints and Coatings: Preventing foam formation during manufacturing, mixing, and application to ensure smooth, defect-free films.

Adhesive Manufacturing: Controlling foam during polymerization and mixing processes to ensure product consistency and packaging efficiency.

Chemical Processing: Used in synthesis, distillation, and reaction vessels to improve throughput and safety.

Biological Fermentation: Managing foam in bioreactors to optimize gas exchange and prevent contamination or overflow.

Pesticide Formulations: Ensuring stability and ease of application by preventing foam during manufacturing and dilution.

Detergent Manufacturing: Controlling excess foam during production processes.

The mechanism by which silicone emulsions act as defoamers involves lowering the surface tension of the foamy liquid and spreading onto the lamellae (walls) of the foam bubbles. Silicone oil particles, often dispersed within the emulsion along with hydrophobic silica particles, act as heterogeneous nucleation sites. These particles pierce the foam film, causing it to thin and rupture. The stability and effectiveness of the emulsion are key to its performance, ensuring the active defoaming agents are delivered efficiently to the foam structure.

Proper storage is essential to maintain the efficacy of the 30% Silicone Emulsion Antifoam Agent. We recommend sealed storage at temperatures between 5ºC and 40ºC, avoiding exposure to high temperatures and freezing conditions. Under these conditions, the product has a typical shelf life of 9 months.
