(1) The role of active ingredients: foam breaking, defoaming, reducing surface tension: Representatives: silicone oil, polyethers, higher alcohols, mineral oil, vegetable oil, etc. [1] (2) Emulsifier function: Disperse the active ingredients into small particles, which are easy to disperse in water, and have better defoaming and anti-foaming effects. Representatives: non(octyl) phenol polyoxyethylene ether, soap salt, op series, Tween series, Span series, etc. (3) Carrier function: Conducive to the combination of the carrier and the foaming system, easy to disperse into the foaming system, and combining the two, its own surface tension is low, it is helpful for foam suppression, and can reduce costs. Representative: solvents other than water, such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated solvents, etc. (4) Emulsification aids: to make the emulsification effect better. Representative: * Dispersant: hydrophobic silica, etc.; * Tackifier: CMC, polyvinyl ether, etc.
Antifoaming agent, also known as antifoaming agent, is a food additive that reduces surface tension during food processing, inhibits foam generation or eliminates foam that has already occurred. The defoamers that are permitted to be used in my country are emulsified silicone oil, higher alcohol fatty acid ester complex, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene pentaerythritol ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropanol amine ether, polyoxypropylene glycerol ether and polyoxypropylene polyoxyethylene 7 types including vinyl glycerol ether and polydimethylsiloxane.
Silicone defoamer is a white viscous emulsion. It has been used in various industrial fields since the 1960s, but large-scale and comprehensive rapid development began in the 1980s. As an organosilicon defoamer, its application fields are also very wide, attracting more and more attention from all walks of life. In the chemical, paper, coating, food, textile, pharmaceutical and other industrial sectors, silicone defoamer is an indispensable additive in the production process. It can not only remove the foam on the liquid surface of the process medium in the production process, thereby improving filtration, The separation, gasification, and liquid drainage effects of washing, extraction, distillation, evaporation, dehydration, drying and other technological processes ensure the capacity of various material storage and processing containers.
Recent research on defoamers has mainly focused on the combination of organosilicon compounds and surfactants, the combination of polyethers and silicones, the combination of water-soluble or oil-soluble polyethers and silicon-containing polyethers, etc. In terms of agents, compounding is one of the development trends of defoamers. As far as current defoamers are concerned, polyether and silicone defoamers have the best performance. The modification of these two types of defoamers and the development and research of new varieties are also active.
In order to eliminate the inevitable maladies of traditional defoamers, molecular defoamers have emerged. This type of defoamers are composed of special mineral oil and special molecular defoaming substances. The branch structure has multiple anchor points and has a certain degree of self-emulsification. There is no need to add an emulsifier, and there will be no shrinkage caused by the emulsifier detachment.
