1. Wide application range: Organosilicon defoamers are suitable for various media, including water, animal and vegetable oils, and high boiling mineral oils, which enables them to exhibit excellent defoaming effects in various systems.
2. Powerful defoaming ability: Due to its low surface tension characteristics, organic silicon defoamers can achieve efficient defoaming effects with minimal dosage. Usually, a good defoaming effect can be achieved with a mass fraction of 1-75% × 10 of the defoaming system.
3. Excellent thermal stability: Organic silicon defoamers can be used over a wide temperature range, effectively defoaming up to 150 ℃, and even withstand high temperatures above 300 ℃ for a short period of time.
4. Chemical stability: Due to the stability of Si-O bonds, organic silicon defoamers are difficult to react chemically with other substances and can be used stably in systems containing acids, bases, and salts without contaminating the defoamed system.
5. Physiological inertness: Organosilicon defoamers are harmless to the human body and are commonly used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries because they have no adverse side effects on the human body.
6. Environmental friendliness: Organic silicon defoamers have extremely low biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and are environmentally friendly.
7. Economy: Due to the fact that organic silicon defoamers only require a small amount of addition to achieve efficient defoaming, the cost of use is relatively low, and it does not affect product performance.
