I. Introduction to Hydrophobic Silica
Hydrophobic silica is a surface-modified fumed silica with unique hydrophobic properties. Its surface hydrophobic groups enable excellent dispersion and stability in various chemical systems. Due to its high specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity, it has become an indispensable component in defoamers.
II. Application Principle of Hydrophobic Silica in Defoamers
In defoamers, hydrophobic silica attracts the hydrophobic ends of surfactants in the foaming system through its surface hydrophobic groups, making hydrophobic solid particles hydrophilic, thereby reducing the concentration of surfactants in foam and promoting foam rupture to enhance defoaming speed. In addition, hydrophobic silica can form a stable silicone paste with the main defoaming components such as dimethyl silicone oil, enhancing the dispersion and stability of defoamers.
III. Applications of Hydrophobic Silica in Various Fields
Hydrophobic silica plays an important role in many industries. In the food industry, it is used in the production of beer, juice, and soda to effectively reduce foam generation and stability, improving production efficiency and product quality. In the pharmaceutical industry, hydrophobic silica can be used in drugs and medical liquid preparations to remove foam and enhance drug absorption and stability. Moreover, it is widely used in cosmetics and industrial production to help control foam generation and stability.
