Silicon
Certificate of Analysis
Silicon is a material commonly used as an anti-foaming agent in the foam manufacturing industry. Some of its functions include:
1. Inhibiting Foam Formation: Silikon works by reducing surface tension and foam stability, thereby inhibiting the formation of foam during the production process.
2. Defoaming: In addition to inhibiting foam formation, silicone also has the ability to break down already-formed foam into smaller bubbles. This helps significantly reduce the volume of foam.
