Silicone defoamer for water-based system
May 15, 2024For water-based systems, silicone defoamer is one of the commonly used defoamer. The following are general guidelines for using silicone antifoam agents in water-based systems:
1. Choose a water-soluble silicone defoamer: Make sure to choose a water-soluble silicone defoamer that can effectively disperse and function in water-based systems. Such defoaming agents have good solubility and dispersion and can be quickly and evenly mixed with aqueous systems.
2. Choose the appropriate type of defoamer according to your needs: Silicone defoamer is available in different types and properties in water-based systems. For example, some defoamers are suitable for low-viscosity water-based systems, while others are suitable for high-viscosity water-based systems. Choose the appropriate defoamer type based on your specific needs.
3. Determine the optimal usage amount:
Determine the optimal usage amount of silicone defoaming agent based on the characteristics of the water-based system and defoaming effect requirements. Suppliers often provide recommended usage ranges or suggestions, but optimal usage may need to be adjusted based on actual conditions. Experiment and evaluate to determine the most appropriate amount to use.
4. Pay attention to the order and method of addition: When adding silicone defoamer to the water-based system, pay attention to the appropriate order and method of addition. Generally, defoaming agents should be added evenly during the stirring or mixing process. Make sure the defoamer is fully mixed with the water-based system and evenly dispersed throughout the system.
5. Consider temperature and pH: The performance of silicone defoamers may be affected by temperature and pH. During use, pay attention to controlling the temperature and pH range of the water-based system to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the defoaming agent.
6. Evaluate the effect: After using silicone defoaming agent, evaluate the defoaming effect. Observe the disappearance of foam, changes in surface tension and other related indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of the defoamer and whether adjustments are needed.
Please note that the above are general usage guidelines, and specific usage methods and precautions may vary based on the characteristics of different silicone defoamer and water-based systems. Before using silicone defoamer, carefully read and follow the specific usage instructions and recommendations provided by your supplier.
