Defoamers

Ascent Chemicals’ Non-silicone defoamers use refined hydrocarbons and specialty surfactants to provide fast, persistent foam control with wide formulation compatibility and very low residue. They perform well in pulp and paper, textiles, water treatment, coatings, and other systems where silicone is restricted or clarity is critical. A reliable choice for clear concentrates and sensitive processing environments.

Ascent Chemicals’ PPG-based defoamers use polypropylene glycol and EO/PO chemistry to deliver reliable foam suppression while remaining clear and silicone free. They perform well in caustic or neutral systems and support applications ranging from cleaners to spray-wash and industrial processes. These bases offer low odor, clean rinsing, and broad compatibility with surfactants and solvents.

Ascent Chemicals’ silicone-based defoamers deliver fast knockdown at very low dose with strong persistence under high pH and temperature. They perform well in demanding systems such as drilling fluids, lubricants, textile processes, and heavy-duty cleaners where maximum defoaming strength and minimal residue are required.

Ascent Chemicals’ Wax-based defoamers use fatty alcohol and wax dispersions to break foam and maintain long-lasting control under shear. They perform well in high-alkaline systems, industrial cleaners, metalworking fluids, and select coatings where extended persistence is more important than absolute clarity.

Ascent’s bio-based nonsilicone defoamers use plant-derived esters and natural oils to provide effective eco-friendly foam control. They support label-friendly claims and clear rinsing in paints and coatings, textiles, and water treatment. Choose for silicone-free, renewable content requirements.

Ascent Chemicals’ fatty alcohol-based nonsilicone defoamers deliver rapid foam knockdown and reliable control through surface-active bubble collapse. They perform well in alkaline systems and high-shear environments across industries, including floor care, degreasing, metal cleaning, and extraction processes. Choose these defoamers when persistent foam control is needed without introducing silicone.

Ascent Chemicals' Oil-based nonsilicone defoamers are designed for applications where silicone is unsuitable and needs rapid foam knockdown and sustained control in challenging environments. Preferred in pulp and paper, waste water treatment, and textile processing. Choose when persistence matters and clear concentrates are required.

Ascent Chemical's offers indirect compliant emulsions for food-plant cleaners and process water. Fast knockdown foam suppression for food facility cleaning, wastewater treatment, and equipment washing systems

Ascent Chemicals' Free-rinsing Silicone Emulsions deliver strong foam knockdown while preventing residue buildup. Ideal for auto dish, spray and tunnel washers, fabric dyeing, and water treatment. They clear quickly, help drainage, and support high throughput where finish quality matters.

Ascent Chemicals’ Oil-based Defoamers with Silicone Boost deliver fast knockdown without heavy residue. They perform in high-pressure hydraulic fluids, antifreeze systems, and metalworking lubricants. These blends offer strong persistence, broad formulation compatibility, and easy incorporation into concentrates.

Ascent Chemicals' Silicone Emulsions are water-dispersible PDMS defoamers that give fast knockdown at low dose and stable suppression under high pH, heat, and shear. Use in Clean-in-place (CIP), tunnel and spray washers, fabric finishing, waste water treatment, and drilling muds. Easy to pump and rinse. Good choice for clear aqueous systems needing reliable air release.
