SILICONE ANTIFOAM DEFOAMER

Antifoam agents are typically inert substances made of a hydrophobic solid like fatty acids, silica, or wax and a liquid like silicone, mineral oil, etc. In order to prevent excessive foam production, antifoam, an incredibly powerful foam suppressor, is typically added to the foaming solution before it forms. They are combined with liquids used in industrial processes to lessen foam after it has generated. Typically hydrophobic, finely split, and insoluble compounds make up antifoams. Oils and fats, namely locally accessible oil that was either mineral- or naturally-occurring, were likely the first antifoams.
