Defoamers

Defoamers are specially formulated chemicals used to control unwanted foam formed in industrial processes and chemical production lines. Foam formation may reduce process efficiency, cause measurement and dosing errors, and negatively affect production continuity.

Foam problems occurring in different sectors and application areas may show different characteristics depending on variable temperature, pressure, pH, and chemical environment conditions. Therefore, selecting defoamer systems compatible with process conditions is critically important.

Yakem’s defoamer product portfolio provides effective foam control, process stability, and product quality across a wide range — from water-based systems to oil-based applications, from high-temperature and challenging process conditions to environmentally friendly solutions.

Phosphate ester-based defoamers are developed to provide effective foam control under high temperature and challenging chemical environment conditions. They offer long-term performance especially in continuous production lines and aggressive processes.

This product group suppresses foam formation quickly thanks to its high thermal stability and supports process continuity.

Alcohol ester-based defoamers are preferred for applications requiring rapid foam breaking effect and quick results. They ensure foam disperses rapidly on the surface, helping the process return to normal operating conditions in a short time.

These products provide effective performance even at low dosage, offering economical solutions.

Mineral oil-based defoamers are economical and reliable foam control solutions with a wide range of applications. They are widely used in chemical production, petrochemicals, and various industrial processes.

This product group provides stable and long-term foam control thanks to its compatibility with different systems.

Natural oil-based defoamers contain bio-based raw materials and offer environmentally friendly solutions. They are suitable alternatives for facilities aiming to reduce environmental impact and applications with sustainable production goals.

These products provide effective foam control while prioritizing environmental compatibility.

Water-based defoamers are compatible with aqueous systems, have low viscosity, and are easy to apply. They are especially preferred in processes with high water content and applications with environmental restrictions.

This product group quickly adapts to the system, suppressing foam formation in a controlled manner.

PAG (Polyalkylene Glycol) based defoamers are products developed for specialized applications requiring high performance. They provide long-term and stable foam control under challenging process conditions.

These products offer technically advanced solutions thanks to their low dosage requirements and high efficiency.
