Choosing the wrong defoamer can lead to endless troubles
1、 Affects the appearance of the product. After choosing the wrong defoaming agent and adding it to your product, the foam is eliminated, but the product becomes turbid and loses its original color. This will seriously affect the appearance of the product, eventually leading to sales difficulties and becoming a problematic product.
2、 Affects product performance indicators Defoaming agents are added to the product, which affects the product indicators, causing the product to fail to pass the test. Although the defoaming agent is an additive that is added in a small amount, after it is added to the product, some of its ingredients will react chemically with the ingredients of the original product, and some other substances will be formed, and these substances are likely to affect you. The product indicators ultimately lead to failure in testing.
3、 The unit price has been reduced, but the added amount is too large, and the cost increases. This situation is relatively common. I found a new supplier and selected a new defoaming agent. The unit price has indeed been reduced a lot, but because of the product content If the amount of addition increases, even 2 to 4 times that of before, after one year, it will be found that the production cost has increased, because while the unit price of the defoamer decreases, the active ingredients also decrease, so to achieve the same The effect can only be increased by adding the amount.
4、 There are residues that are insoluble and have an impact on production equipment. A customer once chose a cheap solid defoamer because he wanted a low-priced product. However, because the carrier of the low-priced defoamer was waste lime, it was difficult to dissolve in it. In the product system, the machine pipelines were eventually blocked, and the advanced equipment imported from abroad was lost, and a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources were spent on repairs. Although the corresponding high-quality solid defoamer is relatively expensive, its carrier has good solubility, will not cause residues and precipitation, will not affect production equipment, and at the same time has excellent defoaming and suppression properties. This is a series of adverse consequences caused by the wrong selection of defoaming agents. Of course, there are many more, so I will not list them all. In short, how to choose a suitable defoaming agent is very important and very particular.
