What is the function of defoamer in detergent?
No matter in the daily washing of clothes, furniture and tableware, or in the cleaning of equipment and products in industrial production, pollutants need to be removed through washing to restore the smoothness. Foam is also very common during washing. Proper amount of foam can help remove more dirt and help washing, but it is inevitable that there will be too much foam. At this time, the defoamer for detergent can be used to help solve the foam problem.
In the process of industrial production, dirt is often produced in industrial equipment and pipelines, such as coking, oil contamination, sediment, corrosion products, etc. These dirts make equipment and pipelines invalid, reduce production efficiency, and increase energy and material consumption. Therefore, industrial washing has become an indispensable step in industrial production. The washing methods commonly used in industrial washing can be divided into chemical washing method and physical washing method.
We need to find out the reason for foaming when washing：
1. It contains a large amount of active substances, which will make foam constantly appear in the washing process.
2. A large amount of foam will also be produced during the process of high-temperature and high-pressure spray cleaning.
3. Due to the residual dust and oil stain on the surface of equipment and articles, foam will be generated due to the reaction with chemical substances during washing.
4. Gas liquid mixing caused by air mixing, high-speed impact of water flow, and changes in ambient temperature are also the causes of washing foam.
Influence of excessive foam during washing：
1. It will affect the cleaning process, accelerate energy consumption, and lead to many unnecessary costs;
2. Too much foam will slow down the washing process and reduce the washing efficiency, resulting in some difficulties in washing;
3. The production of foam leads to the increase of water consumption, which will remain on the surface of the equipment, reduce the utilization rate of the equipment, and consume the service life of the equipment.
Then what are the functions and characteristics of defoamer for detergent industry?
1. The antifoam for detergent is characterized by strong defoaming and foam inhibition.
2. The amount of detergent defoaming agent is small, which will not affect the basic properties of the foaming system;
3. The detergent defoamer has good water solubility, no residue and no oil bleaching;
4. The antifoam in detergent will not affect the defoaming performance and foam inhibition performance of subsequent washing operations;
5. The chemical stability of defoamer for detergent is good, and its addition in the washing process will not affect the washing effect.
