Why is it called “industrial MSG”? As a flavor‑enhancing chemical, MSG has become ubiquitous in our diets and daily lives. In fact, industrial production also employs a substance very similar to chicken bouillon; used in small quantities, it delivers remarkable results—this is the defoamer.
In most application settings, there is no need to delve into the root causes of foaming, nor is it often feasible to pinpoint them. Moreover, the factors contributing to foaming vary across industries; more specifically, even within a single manufacturer, the foaming‑related variables differ at each stage of the production process. Coupled with the fact that defoamers offer a convenient and effective solution, they have earned widespread favor and acclaim across diverse sectors, experiencing rapid growth. Since the early 1980s, global annual consumption of defoamers has exceeded 500,000 metric tons. By enhancing production processes, improving product quality, controlling costs, conserving resources, boosting productivity, and increasing added value, defoamers play a pivotal role—earning them the nickname “the MSG of industry.”
Properties of Defoamers
1. Rapid defoaming and excellent foam suppression;
2. Does not compromise the fundamental properties of the foaming system;
3. Excellent diffusivity and permeability;
4. Organic chemistry is stable;
5. It exhibits no physiological specificity, is corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, free from adverse reactions, flame-retardant, and non-explosive, with a high safety factor.
