What is a silicone defoamer ? Why can silicone work to break foam? The defoamers must be able to reduce the surface tension to break foam in order to control foam, Compared with most other foam control materials, silicone has lower surface tension and interfacial tension, it is difficult to be dissolved by surfactants commonly used in the system. At the same time, compared with glycol-based or mineral oil-based defoamers, the toxicity is relatively low. What are the advantages of silicone defoamers? Is it suitable for corrosive conditions? Silicone defoamers can ensure efficient and lasting effect. Silicone defoamers are very safe. Many categories meet the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US Department of Pesticides (USDA) and other regulations , Low surface tension, can effectively control the generation of foam in a variety of foaming materials. There are a variety of defoamers that can perform well under var...
