Market Scope & Segmentation
Defoamers or anti-foam agents are basically chemical additives which minimize and restrict the foam formation in industrial process liquids. These are extensively utilized in the pulp & paper industry. Defoamers are known for their ability to disperse fast on foamy surfaces and for having a low viscosity. They assist detergents in cleaning more effectively while consuming less water.
