Main Ingredient: Polydimethylsiloxane. It is a common organosilicon compound with low surface tension, good chemical stability and physiological inertia. These properties enable it to spread rapidly on the surface of foam, destroy the stability of foam, thus playing an efficient defoaming role, and it is relatively safe when used in food and pharmaceutical fields.
Product Performance
Efficient Defoaming: It can quickly and effectively eliminate foam generated in processes such as antibiotic fermentation, starch processing and soft drink production. In antibiotic fermentation, excessive foam may affect the dissolution of oxygen and the growth and metabolism of microorganisms. This defoamer can inhibit foam in time to ensure the smooth progress of the fermentation process and improve the yield and quality of antibiotics. In starch and soft drink processing, it can prevent foam from affecting production efficiency, product appearance and taste.
Strong Stability: Polydimethylsiloxane has good chemical stability. Under different production conditions such as temperature and pH value, it can maintain relatively stable defoaming performance and will not fail rapidly due to changes in the production environment. At the same time, its physiological inertia makes it not react adversely with raw materials or products in food and pharmaceutical processes, ensuring the safety and quality stability of products.
Application Fields
Antibiotic Fermentation: In the fermentation process of antibiotic production, it can effectively control foam, create a good growth environment for microorganisms and help the large - scale industrial production of antibiotics.
Starch Food Processing: In the extraction and processing of starch and the production of starch - based foods (such as vermicelli, sheet jelly, etc.), it can eliminate foam generated by operations such as stirring and heating, ensure uniform product texture and improve product quality.
Soft Drink and Other Food Processing: In the manufacturing process of soft drinks, foam may be generated in links such as blending, filling and sterilization. This defoamer can eliminate foam in time, avoid foam affecting filling accuracy and product appearance, and at the same time, it does not affect the flavor and taste of soft drinks. In addition, it can also play a stable defoaming role in some pharmaceutical processes related to food processing.
Storage and Usage Precautions
Storage: It should be stored in a cool, dry and well - ventilated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight and high - temperature environments. High temperature may change the physical and chemical properties of polydimethylsiloxane and affect the performance of the defoamer. At the same time, keep away from fire sources and oxidants to prevent fire or chemical reactions.
Usage: When using, the addition amount should be reasonably controlled according to the specific production process and foam generation. Too little addition may not achieve the ideal defoaming effect, while too much addition may increase the cost and even have a certain impact on product quality. And during the addition process, pay attention to the addition method to ensure that the defoamer can be evenly dispersed into the system and give full play to the defoaming effect.
