Solid content is the mass percentage of the residue remaining after an emulsion is dried under specified conditions, relative to the total mass. Generally, defoamers that require a solid‑content specification are organosilicon defoamers; polyether‑based, mineral‑oil‑based, fatty‑alcohol‑based, or solid defoamers do not have such a specification.
Today, we’ll explain to everyone… Defoamer The meanings and differences between solid content and active ingredient content.
I. Solid Content
Solid content is the mass percentage of the residue remaining after an emulsion is dried under specified conditions, relative to the total mass. Generally, defoamers that require a solid‑content specification are organosilicon defoamers; polyether‑based, mineral‑oil‑based, fatty‑alcohol‑based, or solid defoamers do not have such a specification.
II. Active Ingredient Content
Active ingredients refer to trace or minor substances in a defoamer that influence its performance and efficacy. The active‑ingredient content denotes the quantity of these substances present in the defoamer; it serves as a key indicator of defoamer quality—higher active‑ingredient levels generally correspond to better product quality. Many substandard or counterfeit products differ precisely in this parameter.
III. The Difference Between Solid Content and Active Ingredient Content
Typically, defoamer manufacturers disclose only the solids content; the active‑ingredient content is rarely made public, as it pertains to the product formulation and is therefore kept confidential.
