(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, January 28, 2016 ) A defoamer is a chemical additive that diminishes and hinders the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. Foam is also known as bubbly liquid, which is usually produced as an undesirable byproduct during the manufacture of several substances. Foam usually creates difficulties in the flow of liquid and stops the movement of oxygen from air. Therefore, defoamers are used to solve the problems caused due to foam. Defoamers possess the most essential characteristics, which include low viscosity and could be easily spread on the foamy surface.
