Organic Silicon Defoamer

Site Application
This series of products is mainly used for gas well demulsification. They belong to organic silicon type demulsifiers and have the advantages of low dosage, fast demulsification speed, excellent anti-foaming performance, convenient use and safety without corrosion.

The addition of Organic silicone defoamer ZX-XP-02 can alter the stability of the gas-liquid interface and reduce the surface tension of the liquid. It has the advantages of good solubility and dispersion, fast liquid surface spreading, excellent defoaming performance, convenient on-site application, and no pollution or environmental hazards.

Usage Method

The Organic Silica defoamer ZX-XP-02 has below advantages:
(1) Wide application range: Due to the special chemical structure of silicone oil, it does not dissolve in water or substances containing polar groups, nor does it dissolve in hydrocarbons or organic compounds containing hydrocarbon groups. Due to the insolubility of silicone oil in various substances, its application range is wide. It can be used both in water-based systems for defoaming and in oil-based systems.
(2) Low surface tension: The surface tension of silicone oil is generally 20-21 dynes/cm, which is smaller than that of water (72 dynes/cm) and most foaming liquids. Therefore, it has good defoaming performance.
(3) Good thermal stability: Taking the commonly used dimethyl silicone oil as an example, it can withstand 150°C for a long time and 300°C or above for a short period. Its Si-O bonds do not decompose. This ensures that the organic silicone defoamer can be used in a wide temperature range.
(4) Good chemical stability: Due to the relatively stable Si-O bond, silicone oil has high chemical stability and is unlikely to react with other substances. Therefore, as long as the formulation is reasonable, the organic silicone defoamer can be used in systems containing acids, bases, and salts.
(5) Physiological inertness: Silicone oil has been proven to be non-toxic to humans and animals, with a lethal dose greater than 34 grams per kilogram. Therefore, the organic silicone defoamer (when properly combined with non-toxic emulsifiers, etc.) can be safely used in industries such as food, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
(6) Strong defoaming ability: Organic silicone defoamers not only effectively break the formed foam but also significantly inhibit the formation of foam. Its dosage is very small, only 1 part per million (1 ppm) of the weight of the foaming medium, which can produce defoaming effects. Its common usage range is 1 to 100 ppm. Not only is the cost low, but it also does not contaminate the defoamed substances.
