Chemical Mechanisms & Reaction Pathways

Silicone antifoam agents operate through surface tension reduction and foam destabilization mechanisms, utilizing polydimethylsiloxane chemistry to efficiently collapse foam bubbles and prevent foam formation in industrial processes.

Surface Tension Reduction

Silicone molecules spread rapidly at air-liquid interfaces

Destabilizes foam lamella structure
Foam Collapse

Low surface energy spreads cause immediate bubble rupture

Rapid foam destruction mechanism
Coalescence Promotion

Promotes merger of small bubbles into larger unstable ones

Accelerates foam breakdown
Persistent Activity

Low volatility ensures long-lasting antifoam effectiveness

Continuous foam prevention
