Defoamer (Antifoam Agent)

Formula: Кремнийорганическая (силиконовая) эмульсия GOST/CAS: CAS: 63148-62-9

Defoamer (highly effective antifoaming agent) is a specialized chemical component designed to rapidly knock down existing foam and provide long-term prevention of foam regeneration in aqueous media. The product is a homogeneous liquid emulsion that disperses easily in water. Due to its unique ability to significantly reduce surface tension at the liquid-gas interface, this defoamer is an indispensable component in the production of household detergents, professional cleaning chemicals, car shampoos, and various technological processes within industrial cleaning.

Applications

Household Chemical Manufacturing: Used as an essential component in the formulation of liquid laundry detergents (for automatic washing machines), fabric softeners, and carpet cleaners, where excessive foaming drastically reduces mechanical cleaning efficiency.

Car Care Products and Car Shampoos: Applied in formulations for touchless car washes, engine degreasers, and glass cleaners. It allows precise control over foam height and density, ensuring rapid rinsing without leaving streaks or residue.

Industrial Cleaning and Tech Detergents: Incorporated into industrial-grade detergents used in conveyor washing systems, bottle/crate washing lines in food processing plants, as well as floor scrubbers and carpet extraction machines, where foam can easily damage vacuum motors.

Textile and Leather Industries: Used for foam suppression during intensive washing, bleaching, fabric dyeing, and leather tanning processes, where surfactants are subjected to high-shear mechanical agitation.

Key Advantages

High Defoaming Efficiency: Rapidly and effectively knocks down both macro- and micro-foam even at ultra-low concentrations (dosage rates from 0.01% to 0.1%), maintaining a prolonged antifoaming effect throughout the entire application cycle.

Stability under Harsh Conditions: Retains its performance characteristics across a wide pH range (from highly acidic to heavily alkaline media) and at elevated temperatures (up to 90°C), which is critical for industrial cleaning formulations.

Excellent Compatibility: Easily incorporates into finished liquid detergent formulations; blends seamlessly with anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants without causing phase separation or affecting the product's clarity (when properly dosed).

Eco-Friendly and Safe: The product is biodegradable, non-toxic at working concentrations, and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is completely safe for processing equipment and wastewater treatment systems.

Storage & Transportation

Store in dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouses in tightly sealed original packaging, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Recommended storage temperature range: +5°C to +35°C. Do not allow the product to freeze, as freezing can break the emulsion.
Transportation is permitted by all modes of covered transport, provided the temperature regime is maintained. The material is classified as non-hazardous for transport (does not fall under UN Class 9).
Shelf life — 12 months from the date of manufacture.
