Three tips for testing viscosity of defoamer/antifoaming

Three tips for testing viscosity of

defoamer/antifoaming

Cyclic Bubbling Instrument
Many customers make certain demands on the viscosity of the Defoamer when purchasing the product, but the different supplier has different standard, how to check the authenticity of the corresponding viscosity coefficient? Now let Invely help you.

Temperature affects viscosity

The temperature will affect defoamer viscosity seriously.the viscosity of viscosity of defoamer will be relatively higher in winter under normal circumstances, but the viscosity of the defoamer will be lower in the summer. In this case, if you test the viscosity of the defoamer, you must pay attention to the room temperature. It is recommended that you try to keep the room temperature at about 23 degrees when testing the viscosity. This will ensure the uniformity of the viscosity test.

Speed Viscosity Tester or Mechanical Viscosity Tester?

Many customers will encounter such a problem when testing the viscosity of defoamer. which one is better?Speed Viscosity Tester or Mechanical Viscosity Tester? In fact, every instrument has its own advantages, but it also has its own shortcomings. so we must use it instrument correctly,and then they can test the viscosity accurately. The speed-sensitive viscosity test should pay attention to whether the viscosity of the defoaming agent is consistent in the surface and bottom layers of the package, otherwise the test result is not accurate; and the mechanical viscosity test should pay attention to the rotation speed.

Points of attention when testing

In addition to the instrument and temperature during the test, there is also a point to note that the defoamer should be thoroughly stirred and then tested. Because the defoamer in the upper layer will be thinner, and the lower layer will be thicker after transported,Therefore, for accurate testing, it is necessary to thoroughly stir the defoamer before it can be measured.
The above is some tips of the viscosity test. I believe that if you can pay attention to the above points during the test, it can help you correctly test the viscosity of defoamer to help you produce.

Why Foam could be so inconvenient ? A light foam is generally not problematic in most applications however heavy foaming can often lead to various processing problems. These problems range from inaccurate readings from control and measuring equipment such as temperature, level and density controllers to poor mixing of reactants in chemical reaction vessels and products hanging in the foam, all too often leading to losses in production. Finally the presence of foaming can give a bad image of the way a process is operated in the eyes of a customer. The presence of foam in discharged effluent can cause complaints from local people and authorities even if the foam is harmless to people and the environment. How do silicone defoamers work ? Foam is a gas dispersion in a liquid or solid continuous phase. Foam iscreated by the surfactants which are at the air/liquid interface. Therefore air bubbles occur and are stabilised by the surfactants. Today, silicone antifoams are thebest solution to a...

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...
