Quick answer

What is Silicone Defoamer?

A silicone defoamer is a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) emulsion that breaks existing foam and prevents new foam at 10–1000 ppm. ZEELCHEM DF is used in ETP aeration tanks, paints, textiles and paper mills and costs ₹60/kg in 50 kg carboys.

About Silicone Defoamer

ZEELCHEM DF is a silicone-based antifoam emulsion built mainly on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Its very low surface tension (~20 mN/m vs 72 for water) lets it spread over bubble walls and collapse foam quickly.

It is chemically inert, stable across wide temperature and pH ranges, and compatible with most aqueous systems.

Key benefits

  • Rapid foam knockdown and suppression
  • Effective at low doses
  • Stable across temperature and pH
  • Less downtime, better efficiency
  • Compatible with many formulations

Also known as: silicone antifoam, silicone antifoaming agent, PDMS defoamer, defoamer for ETP
