A Defoamer (also known as an Antifoaming Agent) is a chemical additive used to prevent, reduce, or eliminate foam formation in industrial processes. Foam is a collection of air bubbles trapped in a liquid, which can interfere with process efficiency, reduce product quality, and cause equipment issues. Defoamers work by lowering the surface tension of the liquid, breaking down foam bubbles, and preventing new foam formation. They are commonly formulated using silicone, mineral oils, polyethers, or organic compounds.
