Anti-foaming agents in water treatment are chemicals used to reduce or eliminate foam formation in industrial processes. They work by breaking down surface bubbles and preventing their reformation. These agents ensure efficient operation and prevent issues like overflow or reduced system performance.

Size: Typically available in liquid form with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 microns.

Grade: Industrial grade, food grade, and pharmaceutical grade options available.

Viscosity: Varies between 50 to 5000 cP depending on formulation and concentration.

Buoyancy: Low to moderate buoyancy to ensure effective dispersion in water.

Material: Silicone-based, polyglycol-based, or mineral oil-based compounds.

pH Range: Compatible with pH levels from 2 to 12.

Solubility: Insoluble in water, dispersible upon agitation.

Dosage: Typically 1 to 100 ppm depending on application.

Temperature Stability: Effective between -20°C to 80°C.

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents.
