What does ZEELCHEM DF do?

• Reduce surface tension – approximately 21 mN/m
• Improve the efficiency of systems.
• Prevent or control foam build-up
• Destroy foam
• They perform under challenging conditions such as high temperatures and high pH values.

Common Applications: 

1. Water Treatment Industry

In wastewater treatment facilities and effluent systems for controlling foam production during aeration and chemical processing.

2. Paints and Coatings

It prevents the formation of foam during mixing, manufacturing and application of inks, paints and coatings.

3. Pulp and Paper Processing

Helps to reduce foaming in paper mills during bleaching, pulping, and other paper production processes.

4. Textile Industry

Controls foam in dyeing, washing or sizing processes for a smoother production of fabrics.

5. Food and Beverage Processing

It is used in the process of manufacturing food like sugar production, fermentation and beverage processing, where antifoams made from food grade are required.

6. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Utilized in chemical formulation processes to ensure the efficiency of production and quality of products.

7. Detergents and Cleaning Products

Add it to industrial detergents and cleaners to lessen the amount of foam that is produced during use.

8. Oil and Gas Industry

Controls foam in drilling fluids refinery operations and the petrochemical processing system.

9. Chemical Manufacturing

Enhances efficiency of processes by the reduction of foam in reactors, mixing tanks, as well as chemicals processing facilities.

10. Agriculture Industry

It is used in fertilizer and pesticide formulations to decrease foam during mixing and spraying.

Types of Silicone Defoamers

Common forms include:

• Silicone defoamers made of oil
• Emulsion defoamers
• Powder defoamers
• Water-dispersible silicone defoamers

Selection depends on:

• Temperature
• pH
• Food contact needs
• System compatibility

Advantages

• Very effective when used at a low dose
• Fast foam knockdown
• Long-lasting effect
• Chemical resistance and heat
• Works with the alkaline and acidic media

Limitations

• It can cause surface defects in certain coatings when overdosed
• Costs higher that mineral defoamers
• Certain formulations can influence downstream processing or the filtration process.
