The development trend of silicone defoamer is mainly reflected in the following aspectsProduct performance High efficiency: Through the optimization of molecular structure, the introduction of special functional groups and other means to further improve the defoaming efficiency, so that the defoaming agent can achieve rapid defoaming and lasting defoaming in a shorter time and at a lower dosage, in order to meet the needs of modern industrial large-scale and efficient production.
Green and environmental protection: The development of more environmentally friendly and biodegradable silicone defoamer has become an important direction. This requires that the defoamer not only has a low environmental impact during use, but also breaks down naturally after the end of its life cycle, reducing the long-term impact on the ecosystem. For example, the development of low-toxicity, low-residue, odor-free products to meet the needs of food, medicine and other industries with high safety requirements.
Multifunctional integration: The future silicone defoamer will integrate a variety of functions, in addition to the basic defoamer function, may also have anti-corrosion, anti-bacteria, solubilization, dispersion, emulsification and other functions, to provide users with a more comprehensive solution to meet the diversified needs of complex process conditions, reduce the cost increase and potential risks caused by adding a variety of additives in the production process.
High stability: Improve the stability in various extreme conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, strong acid, strong alkali, high salt and other environments, to ensure that good defoaming performance can be maintained in different industrial environments and production processes, and reduce the decline or failure of the defoaming effect caused by environmental factors.
Application field


Expand to emerging areas: With the rapid development of new energy, new materials, electronic information and other emerging industries, silicone defoamer will continue to expand the application field. For example, in the production of new energy batteries, it is used for defoaming in the process of electrolyte preparation and battery packaging; In semiconductor manufacturing, it is used for foam control of photoresist, etching fluid and other links.
Deep penetration in traditional fields: In traditional application fields such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and oil exploitation, more targeted special defoamer will be developed according to the specific needs of different industries to achieve deep penetration and precise application. For example, in food processing, silicone defoamer suitable for different food production processes and raw materials has been developed to ensure food quality and safety.
Technological innovation


Intelligent application: Combining technologies such as the Internet of Things, sensors and intelligent control systems to achieve real-time monitoring and automatic regulation of the defoaming process. The sensor monitors the foam generation and defoaming situation in real time, and the intelligent control system automatically adjusts the amount and timing of the defoaming agent according to the feedback information, improving the defoaming efficiency and production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and achieving more precise and efficient production management.
Nanotechnology application: With the help of nanotechnology, the preparation of nano-scale silicone defoamer or nano-modification of the defoamer, so that the size of the defoamer is smaller and the distribution is more uniform, so as to improve the dispersion and permeability of the defoamer in the liquid, enhance the defoamer effect, and may give the defoamer some new properties and characteristics.
Market competition aspect


Industry integration and concentration: with the intensification of market competition, there may be a trend of consolidation in the silicone defoamer industry, some smaller, backward technology, and insufficient competitiveness of enterprises may be eliminated or acquired by large enterprises, and the industry concentration will gradually increase, forming a few large enterprises to dominate the market pattern.
International competition intensifies: The integration trend of the global silicone defoamer market will be more obvious, and the international competition faced by enterprises will intensify. Domestic enterprises need to continuously improve the technical level and product quality, strengthen brand building and market expansion, actively participate in international competition, and occupy a place in the global market.
