Defoamers

Defoamers are used for two main purposes: to either kill or suppress foam. JLK Industries provides defoamers to the market through Performance Process Inc.
 
Our products come in four main forms:

• Oil Containing ("water in oil" or "oil in water" emulsions)
• Water Based (fatty alcohol emulsions)
• Concentrates (surfactant based)
• Silicone Based (concentrates and emulsions)

We offer commercial products within each these three categories, but we pride ourselves in being able to develop custom defoamers for your needs.
 
Defoamer Components
 
If you are interested in formulating, JLK provides the basic defoamer building blocks to the formulating chemist. Our defoamer components include:

• Hydrophobic silica (varying levels of silicone)
• Emulsifiers
• Hydrocarbon oil (Zero DBD/DBF)
• Oil/Silica blends (13%,15%,18%)
• Oil/Silica/Emulsifier blends ("Just Add Water")
• Amorphous Precipitated Silica

Please contact us to discuss your needs further. Depending on your volume requirement, we can adjust the percentage of any of the components of our blends to fit your formulating needs.
