Preventing Foam Buildup with ROMAKK RCAP-20 P Silicone Powder Antifoam

Posted on: February 15, 2024

Foaming can be a troublesome issue in industrial processes like biotechnology and water treatment. It can reduce efficiency and throughput. ROMAKK has developed an innovative free-flowing powdered silicone antifoam called RCAP-20 P that can effectively control foam in these applications.

RCAP-20 P is a free-flowing powdered silicone antifoam designed to be easily incorporated into dry products. Its advanced formulation allows it to rapidly disperse when liquids are added to provide fast, efficient defoaming action. This makes it ideal for addition to products like instant powders, detergents, and fertilizers where foaming needs to be prevented when the end consumer adds water or other liquids before use.

How Silicone Powder Antifoams Work

Powder antifoam agents like RCAP-20 P utilize hydrophobic silicone polymers to destabilize the foam. The powder particles quickly disperse into the foaming media, allowing the silicone polymers to spread rapidly across bubble surfaces and weaken foam films through destabilization. This leads to faster foam rupture.

Some key benefits of using ROMAKK RCAP-20 P Silicone powder antifoam include:

• Rapid dispersion and foam knockdown when liquids are added

• Effective at low concentrations, minimizing any impact on product quality

• Free-flowing powder form allows easy addition during manufacturing

• Prevents consumer complaints about excessive foam buildup

ROMAKK has specially engineered RCAP-20 P to provide balanced efficiency across a broad pH range from 3 to 9, making it suitable for diverse biotechnology and water treatment applications. It is non-hazardous and FDA compliant, allowing worry-free use even in sensitive applications like food and beverage processing.

By incorporating ROMAKK RCAP-20 P Silicone powder antifoam into their dry product formulations, manufacturers can save themselves from costly foam-related losses in yield and quality down the line. This innovative free-flowing powder simplifies defoaming by putting top-notch silicone antifoam performance right into the hands of the end consumer in an easy, convenient form.
