Silicone defoamer and polyether defoamer are named after the main ingredients used in them, and the differences between the two include the difference in composition, the different foaming systems that can be applied, and the difference in the use effect.
Silicone defoamer is generally the use of organic silicone oil and emulsifier and other additives polymerization, silicone defoamer because of its use of silicone components, determines that it can be used in water-based systems, can also be used in oil-based systems, the use of a wide range. The defoamer made of silicone has the characteristics of non-toxic, rapid defoamer, no irritating odor and no side effects.

Polyether defoamer is made of polyether and other additives, which is a kind of defoamer often used in water-based foaming system. In terms of use effect, the foaming ability of polyether defoamer itself is not very outstanding, but it has a strong foaming inhibition ability. While the defoaming and defoaming ability of silicone defoaming agent are relatively balanced, it should be noted that silicone defoaming agent is prone to problems in the emulsification process, thus affecting its performance.

From the above analysis, we can see that silicone defoamer can be used in water-based and oil-based foaming systems, and its defoamer inhibition ability is relatively good, but it is necessary to solve the problems generated in the emulsification process, otherwise the use effect will be reduced. Polyether defoamer is generally only suitable for water-based systems, because its defoamer ability and foam suppression ability are different, so polyether defoamer is suitable for adding before the foam is not produced, directly inhibit the generation of foam.
