Caustic Soda Foam Out of Control? Unlock Efficient Defoaming Secrets Now!

In the workshop, massive reactors churned with boiling sodium hydroxide solution. Foreman Li stared intently at the liquid level, his brow furrowed – the harsh boiling noise was accompanied by uncontrollable foam surging upwards, threatening to overflow at any moment. This wasn’t the first time. Handling high-concentration caustic soda always triggered stubborn foam during intense reactions, slowing production, increasing cleanup burdens, and posing safety risks. Spraying conventional defoamers? The effect was fleeting, while costs kept rising.

Just as Foreman Li was at his wit's end, a technical consultant introduced Chemi Tech's specialized defoamer for caustic soda. Unlike standard products, its core is a uniquely structured polyether-modified silicone compound, engineered specifically to conquer strong alkali and high-temperature environments. During a small-scale test in 90°C concentrated lye, engineers witnessed a remarkable change: with an addition of only 0.05% dosage, the churning foam layer was rapidly subdued as if by an invisible hand, the liquid surface clearing and stabilizing visibly. Even more impressive, this defoaming performance held strong throughout hours of high-temperature cycling, with no foam resurgence.

The secret lies in Chemi Tech's molecular design: Its active components maintain structural stability under strong alkali conditions, rapidly spreading across the foam film surface, drastically reducing surface tension for immediate bubble collapse. Simultaneously, unique polar groups anchor firmly within the alkali system, forming a long-lasting foam suppression barrier that effectively prevents new foam coalescence. A southern pulp mill reported after application not only zero foam overflow risk but also nearly 15% reduction in heating energy consumption and a significant increase in effective alkali utilization.

Conquering caustic soda foam hinges on precise matching. Chemi Tech understands the complex challenges of sodium hydroxide systems intimately. Leveraging tailored defoaming technology, we help you achieve crystal-clear reactor operations and seamless production flow.
