Silicone route
STILOR SI 150 is a silicone defoamer candidate in development. Establish whether this chemistry route fits the downstream process.
Industrial Cleaning
Foam control
Match the foam-control route to the process—not simply the appearance of a sample.
Discuss this application
Illustrative application context01 / THE CHALLENGE
Understand the duty before the treatment.
Foam can influence usable vessel capacity, handling and process stability. A candidate must be evaluated under relevant shear, liquid chemistry and downstream requirements.
Conditions that shape the decision
- Liquid composition, solids and foaming mechanism
- Mixing, shear, temperature and residence conditions
- Downstream coating, filtration or separation constraints
02 / THE APPROACH
Define the mechanism. Scope the evaluation.
Compare silicone and non-silicone routes against an agreed test method. Consider both initial foam knockdown and persistence without assuming compatibility from family name alone.
Non-silicone route
STILOR NS 160 offers a separate development route for discussion where process constraints call for a non-silicone approach.
03 / VALUE TO EVALUATE
Agree what progress should mean.
These are evaluation objectives. They are not claims of achieved product performance.
- 01
Foam height and collapse under defined test conditions
- 02
Persistence under representative agitation
- 03
Downstream compatibility and treatment demand
