THE CHALLENGE: Creating defoamer formulations that meet stringent environmental regulations and safety standards while maintaining performance. Defoamers must effectively prevent or suppress foam formation in production processes without adversely affecting the properties of the final product.
THE SOLUTION:
Hydrophobic precipitated and fumed silica boost the performance of defoamer formulations, strongly optimizing their efficiency across different temperature and pH use conditions. Silica carriers enable adding defoamers to powdered cleaning agents or building materials to improve their application properties.
THE SMART EFFECT:
Evonik’s silica contributes to resource efficiency by reducing oil content in the formulation as well as defoamer usage levels while enhancing performance and stability across various conditions.
