Common Problems and Functions in the Process of Using Defoamers
At present, in society, industrial production is developing very rapidly. During the production process, defoamers are often used to eliminate harmful foam generated. However, many manufacturers encounter a lot of problems when using defoamers. Below, we will sort out the common problems that occur during the use of defoamers.
-
Cloudiness of the defoamer: Firstly, the defoamer may not be compatible with the system it is used in, and secondly, it may be suspended in it. Since the dosage and color of different materials vary, the performance of defoamers can also be quite different. But as long as the final defoaming effect is good and the antifoaming time is long, it is acceptable.
-
Antifoaming time of the defoamer: The properties and content of silicone oil in the defoamer can determine the antifoaming time of the defoamer in the system and the length of its service time. The particle size of the defoamer determines its filterability. During the use process, as the sewage needs to be filtered multiple times, if the particle size of the defoamer is too large and it is filtered out, it will have a certain impact on both the defoaming and antifoaming effects.
-
Failure of the defoamer: There are many types of defoamers on the market, and the performance of different defoamers varies. Some defoamers have poor acid and alkali resistance, which will lead to the decomposition of silicone oil and thus cause the defoamer to fail. Therefore, it is extremely crucial to correctly select the defoamer suitable for the industry. Only in this way can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The foam generated during production not only affects the normal production process but also has a certain impact on the quality of the products produced. Therefore, defoamers are an essential additive in production. I hope the above explanations can be helpful to everyone.
