Why is silicone defoamer so popular?
For 20 years, RISE CHEMICAL has been at the forefront of developing and manufacturing top - tier chemical products. RISE portfolio includes a wide range of products, such as defoamers, cleaners, rust preventatives, and scale inhibitors. Among these, defoamer, especially silicone defoamer, have been winning over customers' hearts and minds. But why exactly are silicone defoamers so popular? Let's dive in.
Unrivaled Defoaming Efficiency
Silicone defoamers are like the superheroes of the defoaming world. When silicone defoamer is added to a foaming system, silicone defoamer quickly spread across the surface of the foam. Thanks to their low surface tension, silicone defoamers can penetrate the foam lamellae with remarkable speed. As a result, the foam bubbles burst, and the foam disappears in no time. For instance, in industrial processes like paper - making, where foam can cause uneven paper thickness and other quality issues, silicone defoamers can rapidly eliminate foam, ensuring high - quality production.
High Temperature and Chemical Resistance
One of the most outstanding features of silicone defoamer is its ability to withstand extreme conditions. Silicone defoamer can maintain their defoaming effectiveness even at high temperatures and in the presence of strong acids, alkalis, and other chemicals. In the oil refining industry, for example, processes often involve high - temperature reactions and the use of various chemicals. Silicone defoamer can function optimally under such harsh conditions, preventing foam from interfering with the refining process.
Versatility
Silicone defoamer is extremely versatile. Silicone defoamer can be used in a wide range of industries, from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals, and from textiles to water treatment. In the food industry, defoamers must meet strict safety standards. Silicone defoamers are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities when used in appropriate amounts, making them suitable for applications such as brewing, dairy processing, and baking.
Cost - effectiveness
Despite their high performance, silicone defoamer is cost - effective. Because silicone defoamer is highly efficient, only a small amount is needed to achieve excellent defoaming results. This means that businesses can save on defoamer costs in the long run. Iarge - scale industrial operations, this cost - saving can be substantial.
