Silicone defoamer dilution method

13-07-2023

Defoamer is an additive whose function is to eliminate the foam formed by the material during the production process.


Silicone defoamer is a white viscous emulsion. In the chemical industry, paper, paint, food, textile, pharmaceutical and other industrial sectors, silicone antifoam agent is an indispensable auxiliary in the production process. Silicone antifoam agent can not only remove the foam on the liquid surface of the process medium in the production process, so as to improve the filtration, washing, extraction, distillation, evaporation, dehydration, drying and other process separation, gasification, liquid discharge and other effects, to ensure that all kinds of materials, the capacity of the handling container.

silicone defoamerWrong method of dilution

1、Dilute directly with water

2、Dilution and mixing when the shear force is too high

3、No sterilization agent added after dilution


The dangers of incorrect dilution

1、Anti-foaming agent layered emulsion, affecting the effect

2、Precipitation, affecting product quality

3、Destroy the structure of defoamer, product failure

4、Foul odor, affecting the use experience


Correct dilution method

1、Configuration of thickening water

     ① Configure 10-20% NaOH solution

     ② Configure 2-3% solution of ASE60 thickener

     ③Adjust PH to 7-8


2、Dilution of defoamer with thickened water

In accordance with the dilution ratio, the thickened water slowly added to the antifoaming agent stirring, production process (60-70 rpm), do not use high shear mixing dilution;


3、Replenish the fungicide

Add the appropriate amount of fungicide after mixing, then mix well and filter the discharge.
