Description
Antifoamzera I20 is a high-efficiency industrial silicone-based defoamer formulated to control and eliminate persistent foam across a wide range of industrial processes. The product is supplied either as an aqueous emulsion or a viscous oil, depending on end-use requirements. Its active component is a silicone compound based on polydimethylsiloxane, combined with hydrophobic additives and selected emulsifiers, enabling rapid dispersion in foaming media even under intense agitation or continuous flow conditions.
This specialized formulation allows Antifoamzera I20 to act quickly and effectively in aqueous systems, disrupting foam formation and stabilization while facilitating the release of entrained air within liquids.
From a technical perspective, Antifoamzera I20 exhibits excellent thermal and chemical stability, remaining effective across a wide pH and temperature range. Its polydimethylsiloxane-based composition enables rapid migration to the air–liquid interface, where it reduces surface tension, causing bubble collapse and preventing foam reformation. The hydrophobic additives within its matrix enhance antifoam efficiency and improve compatibility with a wide variety of aqueous or slightly viscous systems. The presence of suitable emulsifiers ensures fast and uniform dispersion, which is critical for immediate performance upon contact with the foaming medium.
One of the most valued properties of Antifoamzera I20 is its ability to eliminate difficult-to-control foams, including those generated in systems containing proteins, surfactants, alkalis, or organic contaminants. In addition to its immediate effect on visible foam, it also acts on microbubbles and entrained air, improving process efficiency and preventing defects in final products.
Thanks to these characteristics, the product is widely used across multiple industries: in general chemical processes, it is applied in reactors, mixing tanks, and fluid transfer lines; in acid and agrochemical manufacturing, it prevents foam formation that may interfere with dosing accuracy; in wastewater treatment plants, it improves aeration system stability; in the pulp and paper industry, it helps control foam during production and coating stages; and in washing applications such as bottle and equipment cleaning, it ensures cleaner and more efficient processes.
Another key advantage of Antifoamzera I20 is its compatibility with automated dosing systems and its ease of incorporation without requiring pre-mixing or pH adjustment. This makes it a practical solution for continuous processes where efficiency and reliability are essential. Due to its balanced formulation, it can be used both as a preventive and corrective agent, adapting to the various challenges of foaming systems in modern industry.
