Low-foaming surfactants are a type of surfactant with excellent cleaning ability and the ability to significantly inhibit foam generation. They are widely used in industrial cleaning, automatic dishwashers, textile processing, food processing and other fields.
This type of product solves the problem of reduced efficiency caused by excessive foam in mechanical cleaning with traditional high-foaming surfactants.
Key Features
- Low foaming/anti-foaming performance: It remains in a low foaming state under mechanical stirring or spraying conditions
- Excellent wettability: Rapidly reduces surface tension and enhances cleaning efficiency
- Good compatibility: It can be used in combination with various additives and alkaline systems
- Environmentally friendly: Most products are biodegradable
- Hard water resistance: It remains active under hard water conditions
