Chemi Tech Alkaline-Resistant Defoamer: Conquering Foam in Extreme Alkali Environments

In a vast industrial cleaning facility in southern China, thick alkali mist hung heavy in the air. Engineer Chen stared anxiously at the churning foam erupting from the newly commissioned high-pressure alkali wash line. With pH levels soaring beyond 14, stubborn foam surged like an avalanche, flooding pipes and triggering alarms. The entire production line ground to a halt. Conventional defoamers were rendered useless in this extreme alkaline environment, foam devouring efficiency and profits.

Arriving at this critical moment, the Chemi Tech team carried a drum of pale golden liquid. This was no ordinary additive; it was a molecular weapon engineered to conquer strong alkali – the Chemi Tech Alkaline-Resistant Defoamer. Its core technology leveraged specially modified polyethers and silicon-carbon composite structures. These molecules maintained rigidity even in the highly electrolytic alkaline solution, acting like precision-trained foam-breaking agents capable of rapidly piercing the dense foam films. Crucially, it remained stable under high temperatures (exceeding 80°C) and the intense ionic strength of the alkali bath, resisting emulsification or decomposition for lasting foam suppression.

During the 72-hour continuous run test, the transformation was dramatic: As the pale golden liquid was precisely dosed into the turbulent alkali bath, the surging foam layer visibly collapsed, revealing a clear surface. Cleaning fluid flow rates stabilized to design specifications, eliminating foam backflow into pipes. A follow-up visit three months later revealed a 40% reduction in defoamer dosage, zero foam-related equipment shutdowns, and an 18% surge in production capacity recorded in Engineer Chen’s logbook. 'This ‘liquid gold’ safeguarded our production lifeline,' he remarked, gesturing towards the alkali smoothly flowing within the reaction vessel.

Chemi Tech understands the harsh reality of strong alkali processes: High pH dismantles the active structures of standard defoamers, while heat accelerates failure. We employ molecular engineering to craft a triple defense at the microscopic level: alkali-resistant anchoring groups withstand OH⁻ attack, thermally stable backbones endure high temperatures, and intelligent dispersion systems actively seek gas-liquid interfaces. Every drop of Chemi Tech defoamer is a precision-engineered solution against industrial foam chaos. When your process is besieged by alkaline foam, Chemi Tech’s specialized formulation holds the key to breaking free.
