Silicone defoamer (Momentive)

Momentive's "TSA732" is an emulsion-type silicone defoamer with a 25% active ingredient content, made by emulsifying silicone oil compounds. It can be used as an industrial defoamer for water-based foaming liquids and demonstrates excellent persistence. In the field of water-based paints and inks, fine bubbles can cause appearance defects and reduce production efficiency. With the rise of high-speed lines and environmentally friendly formulations, there are increasing cases where traditional defoamers are insufficient. In particular, achieving both "compatibility and persistence" is one of the challenges faced by many formulators. In response to these issues, TSA732, leveraging Momentive's silicone technology, becomes an effective option. For more details, please check our company website.

Momentive's "TSA720" is a solution-type silicone defoamer based on silicone oil. It is primarily used for defoaming oil-based foams generated during processes such as the manufacturing of paints, fats and oils, synthetic resins, and the distillation of chemical products. It exhibits excellent defoaming and anti-foaming effects with a small amount of addition, contributing to process stabilization and improved appearance quality across a wide range of applications, including paints, inks, and resin polymerization. Features: ◆ Suitable for oil-based defoaming. ◆ It is pre-dissolved in a solvent, providing excellent dispersibility. ◆ It has a rapid effect. For more details, please check our website.

In industrial processes, "foam" is not just a cosmetic issue. It is an invisible trouble factor that directly affects quality, productivity, and equipment stability. For example, the following problems can occur on-site: - Tank overflow: Foam expands above the liquid level, causing loss of the contents and contamination of surrounding equipment. - Pump cavitation: The inclusion of air bubbles reduces pump performance, leading to vibrations, noise, and equipment damage. - Coating unevenness and appearance defects: The presence of foam in coating or painting processes can result in pinholes and craters. - Sensor malfunction: Liquid level sensors and optical sensors detect foam and produce incorrect control signals. - Filter clogging: Foam and fine bubbles accumulate in filters, leading to increased pressure loss and more frequent replacements. These are not isolated troubles; they can lead to larger issues such as reduced yield, equipment downtime, and quality complaints. For more details, please check our company website.

The food industry is currently undergoing a significant technological transformation. Traditional food manufacturing has relied heavily on the experience and operational know-how of craftsmen. However, in recent years, amidst new trends such as plant-based foods, precision fermentation, high-protein functional beverages, continuous production processes, and the smart factory movement, food manufacturing is evolving into a more precise process control industry. Within this change, issues that have previously been overlooked are becoming apparent. One of these issues is the presence of foam. Foam is not merely an aesthetic problem; in next-generation food factories, it can become a hindrance to process control. ◆ New challenges of foam in plant-based foods ◆ Foam stabilization in high-protein beverages ◆ The issue of foam in smart factories ◆ The defoaming solutions that Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd. aims for For more details, please check our company website.
