Product Overview
Silicone Defoamer is an extremely effective antifoam and foam management agent designed to reduce and eliminate unwanted foam from industrial processes. It is formulated using silicone-based active ingredients along with suitable emulsifiers that provide rapid foam knockdown, long-lasting foam control, and easy dispersion within water-based systems.
This silicone defoamer is widely used in wastewater treatment, textile processing, paints and coatings, detergents, paper production, agrochemical formulations, construction chemicals, and general chemical processing industries.
It improves production efficiency, reduces overflow, prevents processing delays, and ensures the smooth functioning of foam-sensitive equipment.

Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosage of Silicone Defoamer depends on the process type, foam intensity, temperature, pH level, and operating conditions.
Typical dosage range:
0.05% to 0.5% or as required after testing.
For best performance, add the defoamer directly into the foaming system or dilute with water before use based on application requirements.
How to Use
Stir or shake the solution before use. Add Silicone Defoamer gradually into the process where foam is generated. In continuous processing systems, the product can be added through a dosing pump.
It is recommended to conduct small-scale testing before large-scale industrial application.
Storage and Handling
Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight and freezing conditions.
Ensure that handling equipment is clean to avoid contamination.
