A defoamer is a chemical compound, which is used to prevent foam formation and/or eliminates the existing foam. Defoamer's insolubility in the liquid and its high surface activity makes it unique for its applications. The surface-active nature of defoamers allows them to spread rapidly on the foamy surface in the form of fine droplets just as emulsifiers. Their particles break the foam lamella (bubble boundary) causing the bubbles to burst, hence clearing the froth or foam from the liquid surface. Defoamers are classified as oil based, powder based, water based, silicone based, EO/PO based and alkyl polyacrylates. Depending on the type of defoamer, it has its industrial application.
Defoamers are used in processing of industrial waste, manufacturing of bloating preventing drugs, manufacturing of dishwasher (as they require controlled foam), processing of various food items (like chicken nuggets as they can be used to reduce unwanted effusion or effervescence), in oil drilling and petroleum production, as a lubricating agent in manufacturing processes like oil cutting tools, and textile industry. Defoamers are available in wide varieties and their choice depends on the type of formulating liquid and the end application.
