ANTIFOAMZERA A30
The silicone-based antifoam is a highly effective additive used to control and eliminate foam in a wide range of industrial and food-processing applications. Its silicone compound formulation provides superior physicochemical properties compared to other types of antifoams. Among its main characteristics are high efficiency, the ability to perform under severe temperature and pH conditions, and compatibility with both aqueous and non-aqueous systems.
One of the most important properties of silicone antifoam is its rapid action, working immediately when applied to foaming media, reducing bubble formation and facilitating the release of trapped air. Its long-lasting persistence prevents foam reformation over extended periods, making it ideal for continuous processes. Its compatibility with various formulations allows integration without altering system stability. It is particularly effective in conditions where foam is persistent and difficult to break, such as in environments with high agitation, surfactants, or elevated temperatures.
In the chemical industry, silicone antifoam is used in the production of distillations and fermentations. It is also applied in industrial cleaning systems, reaction processes, and tank storage, improving operational efficiency and reducing the risk of overflow or leaks caused by accumulated foam.
In the food industry, silicone antifoam is used in processes such as alcohol distillation (brandy, tequila, rum), juice, nectar, concentrate, syrup, chocolate, controlled fermentation, confectionery, and dairy production. Foam formation in these stages can cause overflows, cross-contamination, filling errors, and texture inconsistencies. Antifoam use helps preserve product quality and hygiene throughout production, in compliance with food-grade regulations.
In the production of juices, fruit concentrates, and jams, it prevents excessive foam accumulation that could interfere with packaging or the final texture of the product.
During the manufacture of syrups, emulsions, suspensions, and in pharmaceutical fermentation processes, it prevents foam formation that could compromise dosage, homogeneity, and product stability. In pharmaceutical fermentations, it helps control culture volume and enhances active ingredient production efficiency.
In the cosmetics industry, silicone antifoam is used in shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bath gel, and cream formulations, preventing excessive foam during mixing and packaging. This results in stable textures and an improved final product appearance.
