High efficiency and stability, silicone defoamer helps improve the quality and efficiency of chemical production



In the process of chemical production, the foam problem has always been the "invisible killer" that troubles the production efficiency and product quality. Whether it is polymerization reaction, fermentation process, coating preparation, oil refining, excessive foam will not only reduce equipment utilization, increase energy consumption, but also lead to product defects and even safety accidents. iota silicone defoamer, with its unique chemical structure and cutting-edge processes, provides industrial users with a one-stop solution to control foam from the source.


First, industry pain points: How high is the cost of runaway bubbles?
Efficiency loss: Foam overflow in the reactor leads to a reduction in effective volume of 20%-30%, and production capacity is directly limited;


Quality risk: foam residue causes shrinkage of paint, textile stain, product qualification rate decreased by 5%-15%;


Rising costs: frequent shutdown and cleaning, additional additives, and annual waste costs of more than 500,000 yuan (according to medium-sized chemical plants).


Second, the breakthrough advantage of silicone defoamer
Fast foaming: breakdown of foam layer within 3 seconds, defoaming efficiency increased by 40% compared with traditional products;


Long-lasting foam suppression: high temperature resistance (-20℃~300℃), shear resistance, a single addition lasting more than 12 hours;


Broad spectrum compatibility: pH 2-12 full range of application, no rejection with water/oil systems;


Safety and environmental protection: Through FDA, REACH certification, no VOC emissions, to meet the requirements of green production.


Third, core technology: the magic of nano-modified siloxanes
Using gradient block polymerization technology, polyether chain segments are precisely grafted onto siloxane skeleton to form a "rigid hydrophobic core + flexible hydrophilic shell" structure:


Hydrophobic core: fast adsorption foam surface, reduce liquid film surface tension;


Hydrophilic shell: enhance dispersion stability and avoid self-agglomeration failure.
After third-party testing, its dynamic surface tension ≤25mN/m (national standard requirements ≤35mN/m), foam suppression performance industry leading.


4. Application case: A petrochemical enterprise to reduce costs and increase efficiency
Problem: Frequent bubbling in the decompression tower during the refining process resulted in an 8% drop in light oil yield.
Solution: Add silicone defoamer (0.01%) at the feed end.
Effect:


The yield of light oil recovered to the design value, and the annual revenue increased by 12 million yuan;


The amount of defoamer is reduced by 30%, and the annual procurement cost is saved by 180,000 yuan;


The equipment cleaning cycle is extended by 2 times, and the manual maintenance cost is reduced by 45%.
