I. The Importance of Defoamers
In numerous industrial production processes and daily life applications, the generation of foam often brings a series of problems. From the reduction of reaction efficiency in chemical production, to the impact on product quality in food processing, and then to the surface defects in coating applications, the presence of foam often becomes a trouble. Therefore, the use of defoamers is particularly crucial. They can quickly and effectively eliminate foam, ensuring the smooth progress of production and applications.
II. Basic Understanding of Polyether Silicone Oil
Polyether silicone oil is an organosilicon surfactant formed by chemically bonding polyether segments and polysiloxane segments. It combines the advantages of both polyether and silicone oil and has a unique molecular structure. The polyether segments endow it with good hydrophilicity and water solubility, enabling it to disperse evenly in aqueous systems; while the polysiloxane segments provide low surface tension and excellent defoaming performance, making it a defoaming agent component with outstanding performance. Aiyota, as a professional silicone oil manufacturer, has profound technical accumulation and rich experience in the research, development, and production of polyether silicone oil.
III. The Defoaming Principle of Polyether Silicone Oil
The defoaming effect of polyether silicone oil is mainly based on its low surface tension. When polyether silicone oil is added to a system containing foam, it can quickly spread on the foam surface. Since its surface tension is much lower than that of the foam liquid film, the surface tension of the local foam liquid film is reduced. Under the action of the unbalanced surface tension, the foam liquid film becomes thinner, and eventually the foam bursts. At the same time, the molecular structure of polyether silicone oil also enables it to inhibit the re - generation of foam and extend the defoaming time.
IV. The Advantages of Polyether Silicone Oil as a Defoamer
-
