Defoamer or an anti-foaming agent is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. The terms anti-foam agent and defoamer are often used interchangeably. Commonly used agents are insoluble oils, polydimethylsiloxanes, and other silicones, certain alcohols, stearates, and glycols. The additive is used to prevent the formation of foam or is added to break a foam already formed.
Applications
Detergents
Anti-foams are added in certain types of detergents to reduce foaming which might decrease the action of the detergent. For example, dishwasher detergents have to be low foaming for the dishwasher to work properly.
Industrial use
Defoamers are used in many industrial processes and products: wood pulp, paper, paint, industrial wastewater treatment, food processing, oil drilling, machine tool industry, oils cutting tools, hydraulics, etc.
Pharmaceuticals
Antifoaming agents are also sold commercially to relieve bloating. A familiar example is the drug Simethicone, which is the active ingredient in drugs such as Maalox, Mylanta, and Gas-X.
In industrial processes, foams pose serious problems. They cause defects on surface coatings and prevent the efficient filling of containers. A variety of chemical formulae are available to prevent the formation of foams.
