Introduction and application of industrial cleaning defoamer
Industrial cleaning defoamer is a chemical substance used to control the formation and stability of foam in the industrial cleaning process. In many industrial cleaning applications, such as cleaning equipment, pipes, storage tanks, surfaces, etc., cleaning agents or cleaning solutions are often used to remove dirt, grease, particulate matter, etc.
PROBLEMS POSED BY FOAM
However, some cleaning agents or cleaning solutions can generate large amounts of air bubbles and foam when in contact with water or other media. These bubbles may cause the following problems:
Decreased cleaning effect: The existence of foam will hinder the direct contact between the cleaning agent and the surface of the object to be washed, reducing the cleaning effect.
Prolonged cleaning time: The presence of foam increases the time of the cleaning process because more time is required to drain or destroy the foam.
Plugging equipment: Foam can get inside pipes, valves, pumps, etc. causing blockages and operational problems.
Increased energy consumption: The presence of foam increases the energy consumption of the cleaning process because more water or detergent is required to rinse the foam.
INDUSTRIAL CLEANING DEFOAMER
Therefore, the use of industrial cleaning defoamer can solve the above problems. Antifoam agent can reduce the surface tension of the liquid, destroy the structure of the foam, so that the bubble quickly broken or gathered together, thus reducing or eliminating the presence of foam. This improves the contact between the cleaning agent and the surface of the cleaning material, accelerates the cleaning speed, improves the washing effect, and reduces the equipment blockage and energy consumption.
To summarize the above problems, we recommend the special anti-foaming agent for AF-1815C industrial cleaning developed by Shenyang Rise Surface Technologies Co., Ltd.
AF-1815C industrial cleaning defoamer is a polyether modified silicone defoamer, which has excellent defoaming and antifoaming properties, and can still maintain good defoaming and antifoaming effects in some extreme pH environments such as strong acids. Generally, an addition amount of 10ppm can be effective! Its good compatibility makes it very suitable for defoaming applications caused by the production of common chemicals such as cleaning agents, water treatment, cutting fluids, etc.
