Amidst the roar of an industrial cleaning line in Southern China, Engineer Zhang stared intently at the churning alkaline bath – stubborn white foam surged like wild horses, continuously overflowing from the tanks and dragging valuable chemicals into floor drains. Workers frantically added conventional defoamers, yet the foam regenerated as if by magic. Cleaning efficiency plummeted, energy consumption soared, and worse, residual foam caused frequent defects in the subsequent coating process. A cloud of frustration hung over the workshop.
This was precisely the scenario the Chemi Tech engineering team investigated. They discovered that in the harsh 'battlefield' of pH 14 strong alkali, ordinary defoamers were like paper armor, instantly 'dissolved and disintegrated' by the caustic solution, losing all effectiveness. The core challenge: defoaming agents needed extraordinary alkali-resistant 'armor' alongside a precision 'spear' to combat foam.
Chemi Tech's strategy was to develop a triple-shield-and-spear system: First, a core of specially modified silicone-polyether materials. Their molecular chains act like custom chainmail, resisting corrosion from strong alkali ions to maintain structural integrity. Second, infusion of nano-scale hydrophobic particles as 'foam-bursting commandos.' These rapidly penetrate foam lamellae, instantly collapsing the foam structure. Third, a self-emulsifying complex ensures active components disperse uniformly in both hot and cold alkali baths, continuously releasing 'foam-suppression sentinels' to block foam regeneration pathways.
When Engineer Zhang's line adopted Chemi Tech's KM-80 Series Alkali-Resistant Defoamer, the change was immediate: the bath surface became mirror-smooth, foam overflow vanished completely. Cleaned parts emerged spotless, and subsequent coating adhesion increased by 23%. Crucially, defoamer dosage decreased by 35%, and tank cleaning shutdown intervals extended 3-fold. Zhang calculated: savings on chemicals alone, plus yield improvements, generated over a million RMB in annual benefits per line.
In 'alkali seas' like ceramic glaze preparation, metal pretreatment, and textile scouring, Chemi Tech is building robust foam defenses for industrial clients through molecular-level innovation. Choosing Chemi Tech isn't just selecting a defoamer; it's adopting a comprehensive alkaline foam annihilation system engineered for seamless production flow.
