Defoamer King FAG470 is a high-efficiency emulsion-type defoamer based on polyether-modified polysiloxane technology, widely used in seven major industries: water treatment, coatings and inks, textile printing and dyeing, industrial cleaning, metalworking fluids, petrochemical industry, and pulp and paper. It covers the foam control needs of various complex processes ranging from room temperature to high-temperature strong alkali conditions.

Detailed Description

Defoamer King FAG470, with its unique polyether-modified polysiloxane molecular structure, achieves both rapid bubble breaking and long-lasting foam suppression at extremely low addition levels. The product is supplied as a water-based emulsion, and its non-ionic nature allows it to disperse instantly in water. It also has good chemical compatibility with various system additives, making it less prone to side reactions or system cloudiness. Particularly outstanding is its ability to maintain chemical structural stability under harsh conditions such as high temperatures and strong alkalis, resisting demulsification or failure, making it an ideal choice for tackling complex industrial foam problems.

In terms of application, the "broad-spectrum adaptability" of Defoamer King FAG470 spans multiple industrial fields. Whether it is the elimination of biological foam in municipal wastewater treatment systems, the suppression of micro-foam and macro-foam during the high-speed dispersion of coatings, the defoaming task in high-temperature alkaline baths in textiles, or the foam control in high-temperature and high-pressure processes in petrochemicals — this product provides stable and reliable solutions, effectively improving production efficiency, preventing spillage losses, and ensuring final product quality.

Detailed Main Application Industries and Processes

Industry Specific Application Process/Stage Core Function
Water Treatment Aeration tanks, sedimentation tanks, thickening tanks Rapidly break biological foam and surfactant foam, ensuring process stability and effluent water quality
Coatings and Ink Manufacturing High-speed dispersion, grinding, filling and other processes Suppress micro-foam and macro-foam, prevent defects such as pinholes and shrinkage cavities in coatings, improve product appearance and adhesion
Textile Printing and Dyeing Processing Desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, and printing in hot and wet processes Eliminate large amounts of foam generated by additives and mechanical shear, avoid fabric leveling issues and operational failures; high-temperature and strong alkali resistance make it especially suitable for high-temperature alkaline baths
Industrial Cleaning High-pressure spraying, ultrasonic cleaning, CIP inline cleaning systems Control foam height, ensure cleaning fluid circulation efficiency and equipment operation safety, without affecting cleaning power
Metalworking Fluids Cutting fluids, grinding fluids, hydraulic fluid circulation systems Control foam caused by high-pressure spraying and recirculation stirring, maintain lubrication and cooling performance, prevent fluid tank overflow
Petrochemical Processes Oil-gas separation, amine desulfurization, ethylene glycol dehydration, reactors, distillation towers Eliminate foam in organic and aqueous media, improve separation efficiency and product purity
Pulp and Paper Pulp washing, bleaching, paper machine wet end, and coating processes Break foam generated by lignin, sizing agents, and wet strength resins, prevent quality defects such as holes and spots on paper surfaces

Application Recommendations

Before use, stir the product slightly to ensure uniformity. It can be added directly or diluted with several times its volume of water before being added to the foaming system. It is recommended to add continuously using a metering pump to the foam generation area (e.g., inlet of aeration tank, above high-speed dispersion tank) to achieve the best defoaming and foam suppression effects. The specific dosage should be determined through small-scale tests based on actual working conditions and foam severity. Generally, a starting addition amount of 0.01% to 0.1% of the total system weight is recommended, followed by gradual optimization.

Precautions

  • The product is a non-ionic defoamer, with good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic systems, especially suitable for complex formulation processes.
  • Storage temperature is recommended to be controlled at 5℃ to 40℃. Avoid freezing or continuous high temperatures to maintain emulsion stability.
  • After opening, use as soon as possible. Unopened original containers remain stable under recommended storage conditions.
  • The product is not classified as a hazardous chemical, has no acute toxicity, and is non-irritating to skin and eyes. However, it is still recommended to wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling.
