how to test defoamer and testing defoamer method

Defoamer Test Method

Defoamer testing methods are divided into dynamic defoaming and static defoaming tests. If your foaming environment is different, the recommended test methods are different. There are three main types of foam experiments to characterize the activity of defoamers. Persistence. As we have different experimental conditions in different laboratories and the experiments used in our research to obtain results from existing literature, we will introduce these experiments below. Other methods are sometimes used depending on the particular application.

1.Ross-Miles Foam Testerhow to test defoamer

Features: Tested for strong foaming environments.
This experiment is widely used for characterization
(1) Foaming of surfactant solution
(2) Research and application of foam stability in the presence of defoamer
In the foaming system, the defoaming performance test was carried out by circulating bubbling by a Ross-Miles foam meter. In a 2000 mL measuring cylinder, a certain amount of foaming liquid was added to adjust the flow rate, and foaming was performed through the foaming liquid. When the foam to be produced rises to the 2000 mL mark, a quantitative defoamer is added, and the foam elimination time is recorded. When the foam disappears, the circulation is continued to be bubbled and the bubble inhibition time of 2000 mL is recorded.

2．Air drum test

Features: Tested for strong foaming environments.
The foaming liquid and the defoaming agent were added to a 500 ml measuring cylinder, constant to a set temperature, and air was bubbled into the set flow rate, and the volume of the bubble volume (including the sum of the volume of the foam and the medium) was recorded as a function of time T.

3．Shake flask test

Features: Quickly identify the quality of defoamers.
The measuring cylinder is used to measure a certain amount of foaming medium, and the temperature is adjusted to the specified temperature. The antifoaming agent sample is added, the stopper is covered, the measuring cylinder is shaken up and down several times at a certain frequency and swing, and the cylinder is allowed to stand and the timing is started, and the foam is discarded. The time taken for the liquid surface to appear, that is the defoaming time of the shake flask.

The magical effect of fumed silica in silicone rubber

The magical effect of fumed silica in silicone rubber Fumed silica is one of the most important high-tech ultra-fine inorganic new materials. Due to its small particle size, it has a large specific surface area, strong surface adsorption, large surface energy, high chemical purity, good dispersion performance, thermal resistance, It has specific properties in terms of electrical resistance, etc. Its superior stability, reinforcement, thickening and thixotropic properties are unique in many disciplines and fields and have an irreplaceable role. Today, Xiaobian will work with you to learn how to apply fumed silica in silicone rubber. Application of fumed silica in high temperature vulcanization (HTV) silicone rubber The use of fumed silica can be divided into silicone materials and other fields, in which the amount of silica in the silicone material is nearly 60%, and the silicone rubber is the most used material in the silicone material. It can be added in an amount of up to 50% ...

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ?

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ? Quality of an antifoam is given by two main characteristics : • Knockdown ability or shock effect :Meaning the speed to destroy an existing foam. • Persistence or durability : Meaning the efficiency over time.   These two parameters can be assessed by several tests. The main test is the bubbling method. A graduated column with a glass frit in the bottom is required. Foaming water is poured in the column and air at constant flowrate is introduced through the glass frit in the column. Foam is generated by the air and starts to travel up the column. At a determined level of foam, antifoam is injected. By this method several antifoaming agents can be tested. A graph reporting foam height vs time is very helpful to establish the knockdown ability and the persistence for each product. The selected antifoam is the product with the best compromise between shock effect and durability       Environmental performance   Silicone antifo...

Why is there foam in the paint and coating? What we should do to eliminate foam?

Why is there foam in the paint and coating? What we should do to eliminate foam?             check below details:           Surface tension The surface tension of the coating has a great influence on the defoaming agent.  The surface tension of the defoaming agent must be lower than the surface tension of the coating. Otherwise, there is no defoaming and foam suppression. The surface tension of the coating is a variable factor, so a constant surface tension is required when using the defoamer, and then the surface tension variation factor is taken into account. The influence of other additives Surfactants used in coatings are mostly functionally incompatible with defoamers. In particular, emulsifiers, wetting and dispersing agents, leveling agents, thickeners, etc., have an effect on the effect of the antifoaming agent. Therefore, we must pay attention to ...
