Research Summary
Powdered defoamer is a substance designed to control and eliminate foam in various industrial processes. Unlike liquid defoamers, powdered defoamers are formulated in a dry, granular or powder form. These defoamers are commonly used in applications such as water treatment, food and beverage processing, pulp and paper manufacturing, and industrial processes where foaming can interfere with efficient operations. Powdered defoamers typically consist of hydrophobic particles that can disperse in the foaming medium, disrupting the foam structure and reducing surface tension. They are convenient for applications where the use of liquid defoamers might be impractical or where controlled dosing is essential. Powdered defoamers are known for their ease of handling, longer shelf life, and versatility in diverse industrial settings where foam control is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and product quality.
