Foam Control

A broad portfolio of long-lasting foam control solutions for several processes

Foam can be a hassle in a number of different processes: 

  • In tank-mix applications, where growers often rely on defoamers that need to be repeatedly added and at high dose rates, increasing cost and lowering productivity; 
  • During fermentation processes, where it can affect the transport of oxygen and nutrients within the system, reduce the capacity of the reactor and potentially lead to clogging and spills, becoming a risk to quality and safety;
  • In formulations, where foam can cause process delays and lower the quality and performance of the formulation.

Momentive offers high-performance antifoams that knock down foam fast and keep it controlled for an extended period, at low dose rates, providing formulators an increased design window and improved productivity, and allowing growers more time to spray with less trouble coming from foam production. 

SAG 1572 Antifoam

SAG 1572 is an excellent candidate to consider for high-performance foam control. It can provide superior initial foam control as well as outstanding durability to prevent undesirable refoaming over extended periods, especially when compared to traditional antifoams. SAG 1572 can typically be used at lower use levels than most conventional antifoams, providing formulators increased flexibility to optimize their formulations. Another potential benefit is its ability to evenly disperse in water-based formulations and concentrates, which can help create mixtures that are highly stable in storage. An excellent foam controller across a broad pH range, SAG 1572 antifoam is an excellent choice to consider for use as a foam control agent in pesticides, during production, in packaging and in spray-tank operations.
