Silicone defoamer - Make the environment better
Silicone defoamer is a functional additive widely used in wastewater treatment, paper making,chemical, pesticide, food, pharmaceutical and other industries. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, silicone defoamer, as an eco-friendly defoamer, is favored by more and more industries. Compared with the traditional chemical defoamer, silicone defoamer has the advantages of high efficiency, heat resistance and eco-friendliness, etc. These advantages also make silicone defoamer widely used in the industry.
In the water treatment industry, silicone defoamers are often used to remove air bubbles from water. When the gas content in water is high, bubbles are easily generated, and these bubbles can affect the fluidity and transparency of water, and even the performance of water treatment equipment. Silicone defoamer can effectively break the air bubbles in the water to ensure the fluidity and transparency of the water, while improving the performance of the water treatment equipment.
Starting in 2020, with the global outbreak of the epidemic, the demand for medical masks has increased dramatically, but it has also brought about the problem of foam in the production of masks. Silicone defoamers are receiving a lot of attention at this time. Traditional chemical defoamers have a large impact on the environment, while silicone defoamers have eco-friendly features and become an ideal defoamer in mask production.
The use of silicone defoamer needs to pay attention to the following points.
1. The amount to be added should be determined according to the specific situation. Excessive use will lead to poor defoaming effect or adverse effect on the defoamed substance.
2. In the process of using the defoamer, attention should be paid to the defoaming material to be fully stirred to ensure that the defoamer can be evenly dispersed in the material.
3. For some substances sensitive to defoamer, non-toxic, non-irritating silicone defoamer should be selected to avoid negative effects.
In conclusion, silicone defoamer has a wide application prospect as an efficient, heat-resistant and eco-friendly defoamer. It is an excellent additive in the water treatment and paper industries to improve production efficiency and product quality, as well as to protect the environment.
