Foam and foam control: What is foam?

Foam is a dispersion of gas bubbles within a liquid, which allows it to float due to its low density.

Unwanted foam can occur in a wide range of products and industries, from manufacturing and processing to packaging, distribution, and end use. Wherever it appears, foam can pose significant issues for both you and your customers.

It can limit your formulation options, disrupt product quality and performance, reduce manufacturing capacity, cause spills and overflows, and raise environmental concerns. That’s why it’s crucial to use foam control agent to manage unwanted foam whenever and wherever it arises.
