Defoamer

I need a defoamer. I usually experience high foam when washing blending tank. It waits water, time and energy. I will appreciate suggestion on chemical to use as de-foamer.

Thank you.

From your previous posts I am guessing you need to wash the tanks which you have used for dish-washing liquids and similar kind of products. I have seen that lower alcohols like ethanol act as very good de-foamers, could possibly use IPA as well here.

Foamaster (Texopon) might be of interest?

Hi!

I don’t know if it’s a preoccupation for you, but Xiameter AFE-0010 Antifoam Emulsion is a food grade product. You can also ask for a sample free and use it. It won’t take a lot of this product to have an effect so you can do a lot of tests before buying it!
