ZEELCHEM - Antiform

A silicone defoamer is a defoaming product designed to collapse existing foam and limit new foam from forming during liquid-handling systems. Foam is usually created when air becomes trapped in a liquid due to agitation, mixing, spraying, pumping, or chemical reaction. If this foam is not managed, it can spill from tanks, lower batch capacity, affect filtration, and produce measurement errors. Silicone-based products are appreciated because they are strong-performing at low dosage levels and work quickly across different liquid systems. They spread over the foam surface, weaken the bubble walls, and help trapped air to escape. This makes them suitable for processes where fast foam knockdown and long-lasting performance are required.
