🧪 Fatty Alcohol-Based Defoamers: Rapid, Reliable, and Residue-Free Foam Control

Foam is often an underestimated issue in industrial processes, yet it can lead to equipment failures, production downtime, and even product quality concerns. In systems with high surface activity or biological load, fast-reacting and efficient defoamers are crucial. That’s where fatty alcohol-based defoamers stand out—with their excellent spreadability, low dosage needs, and compatibility with diverse systems.

At Teget Kimya, our fatty alcohol-based defoamers are formulated to deliver immediate action and stable foam suppression, even in challenging environments. These formulations are eco-friendly, residue-free, and compatible with biological wastewater systems, ensuring both operational reliability and environmental safety.

🔬 What Is a Fatty Alcohol-Based Defoamer?

Fatty alcohol-based defoamers are typically composed of long-chain linear or branched alcohols (C12–C18) and nonionic surfactants. These defoamers:

Spread rapidly across foam surfaces

Disrupt surface tension and cause foam collapse

Do not leave harmful residues in the system

Are suitable for use in biological treatment systems

Can serve as a silicone-free alternative in many applications

🏭 Application Areas

Fatty alcohol-based defoamers are highly versatile and suitable for:

🏭 Wastewater treatment plants

🧪 Chemical manufacturing units

🧼 Detergent and cleaning agent production

🧵 Textile and dyeing operations

💧 Paper and cardboard production lines

🧬 Fermentation processes

🍺 Beverage and yeast production systems

🚀 Why Choose Fatty Alcohol-Based Defoamers?

✅ High spreadability: Quickly covers foam-prone areas

✅ Fast-acting: Collapses foam within seconds
