  1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Silicone Defoamers- NAQ Global Industry production and defoaming processes are closely connected. Preventing or controlling is crucial when working in different industries involving aqueous solutions or adhesives. Foaming could influence the appearance and effectiveness of the product, coating weight, increase manufacturer times and expenses, diminish product quality, the flow speed of liquid, and many more other factors. NAQ Global silicone-based antifoam is designed to knock down the foam and effectively control and minimize production reapplications, which could save processing time and money. Our Silicone Based Defoamers aid brands and industries for application in food and beverage, chemical, plastics, pulp and paper, oil and gas, metalworking, construction, and others. Defoaming agents can effectively remove and suppress the formation of foam. The Silicone-based defoamers are versatile, practical, and economical solutions for controlling foam.

  2. Silicone-based defoamers are ingrained with silicon key ingredients that might be effective as oil or water-based emulsion. Silicone antifoams are used in processes that involve liquid-gas contact and agitations with the end goal of optimizing manufacturing throughput and productivity. Before you choose an Antifoaming Chemical, it is imperative to peek into its pros and cons. Advantages of Silicone Based Defoamers ●Wide applications Due to the chemical structure of silicone oil, it is insoluble in various applications and can be used in myriad industrial uses. It can be blended in oil systems as well as defoaming water systems. ●Lower surface tension Lower surface tension translates to higher defoaming efficiency. The surface capacity of silicone oil is 20-21 dynes/cm, lower than that of water 72 dynes/cm.

  3. ● Thermal stability An ordinary dimethicone can resist about 150 for a long time and 300 for a short time, and the si-o bond does not deteriorate. The silicone defoamer can be used over a wide range of temperatures. ● Good chemical stability The chemical stability is high, and it's grueling to react with other substances. Silicone defoamers can be blended with acids, bases, and salts as their formulation is reasonable. ● Physiologically inert The properties of silicone oil are non-toxic to humans and animals when added with a semi-lethal dose of more than 349/kg. Therefore, silicone defoamers can be used in food, medical, pharma, cosmetic, and other industries. ● Powerful defoaming Silicone defoaming breaks the foam, significantly inhibits the foam, and avoids the formation. It is used in small amounts, one part per million of the weight of the foaming medium. It's not only low cost but also does not pollute defoamed material.

  4. Disadvantages of Silicone Based Defoamers ● Poor durability Silicone-based antifoam is relatively poor durability. ● Oil-soluble Silicone is oil soluble, and it reduces the defoaming effects in oil systems. ● Temperature resistance It is not ideal for long-term high-temperature resistance and strong alkali resistance. High-grade silicone defoamer NAQ Global is a defoamer chemical supplier; with unrivaled experience and unparalleled experience, our company has products suitable for all walks of life. We offer food-grade, tech-grade, and agriculture antifoams with various viscosities from ready to use and concentrated ones.
