What kinds of defoamers are used in daily life? How to choose?

Daily defoamer is mainly used for daily washing products, such as detergent, laundry detergent, soap, shower gel and so on. Their function is to eliminate or reduce the foam generated during the use of these products to ensure the cleaning effect and user experience. The types and choices of defoamers used in daily life are as follows:

# # # Types of defoamers for daily use:

1.** silicone defoamer * *: This kind of defoamer usually has good stability and temperature resistance, and can work in a wide pH range. They are widely used in daily chemical products, because silicone defoamer can not only effectively eliminate foam, but also have little influence on the transparency and texture of products.

2.** Polyether defoamer * *: Polyether defoamer is non-silicone, which is especially suitable for those occasions where products are required to have good wettability. They are usually mild to the skin and are suitable for personal care products such as shampoo and shower gel.

3.** Fatty acid derivative defoamer * *: This kind of defoamer is usually derived from natural oil, which is mild to the skin and suitable for washing products that need biodegradation.

4.** Polysiloxane alcohol defoamer * *: This defoamer combines the advantages of polysiloxane and non-siloxane, which not only has good defoaming effect, but also improves the stability of the product.

5.** Mineral oil defoamer * *: Mineral oil defoamer usually has good thermal stability and chemical stability, and is suitable for high temperature or chemical corrosion environment.

# # # How to choose defoamer for daily use;

1.** Considering product characteristics * *: It is necessary to know product requirements, such as transparency, viscosity, wettability, biodegradability, etc. So as to select a suitable defoamer.

2.** Consider service conditions * *: including service temperature, pH value, product stability, compatibility with other ingredients, etc. , will affect the choice of defoamer.

3.** Considering cost and performance * *: While meeting the defoaming demand, we should also consider the cost performance and choose a defoamer with high cost performance.

4.** Safety * *: To ensure that defoamers meet the requirements of relevant safety standards and regulations, especially when used in personal care products, it is necessary to prove their gentleness to skin and eyes.

5.** Environmental impact * *: Choose environment-friendly defoamer to reduce the impact on the environment, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.

When choosing defoamers for daily use, it is usually necessary to determine the best application concentration and effect through laboratory tests. At the same time, the potential influence of defoamer on the texture of the final product should be considered to ensure that the addition of defoamer will not affect the use experience of the product.
