INVINO fatty alcohol defoamer for pulp and paper mills — brownstock washing and paper machine wet-end white water foam control

Pulp & Paper Mills

Foam in paper machine wet-end white water causes pinholes, sheet defects, and reduced drainage efficiency. INVINO® fatty alcohol defoamers are specifically formulated for kraft pulp brownstock washing and paper machine wet-end systems — alkali-stable, high-temperature resistant, and fully compatible with AKD and rosin sizing. They eliminate silicone contamination risk on the paper web without affecting retention aid or sizing performance.

Wastewater Treatment

Biological aeration tanks, MBR units, and landfill leachate systems generate persistent foam that disrupts dissolved oxygen transfer and treatment efficiency. INVINO® supplies silicone emulsion defoamers for rapid knockdown in high-surfactant municipal systems and polyether defoamers for biological aeration tanks where silicone-free foam control is required. Both are compatible with activated sludge and do not inhibit microbial activity.

INVINO silicone and polyether defoamers for industrial wastewater treatment biological aeration tanks and MBR units
INVINO mineral oil defoamer for waterborne paints and industrial coatings — eliminates cratering fish-eyes and pinholes

Paints & Coatings

Foam generated during high-shear grinding transfers to the coating film as pinholes, cratering, and fish-eye defects. INVINO® mineral oil defoamers are the standard non-silicone choice for waterborne architectural paints, industrial coatings, adhesives, and printing inks — eliminating silicone contamination risk in acrylic and vinyl acetate binder systems without affecting film gloss or recoatability.

Fermentation & Bioprocessing

Foam in fermentation bioreactors reduces effective tank volume, contaminates off-gas filters, and can carry over product. INVINO® polyether block copolymer defoamers are biologically inert and non-toxic to fermentation microorganisms — safe for citric acid, yeast, antibiotic, amino acid, and molasses fermentation. Food-grade and Halal-certified grades are available for regulated food and pharmaceutical fermentation applications.

INVINO polyether defoamer for industrial fermentation bioreactors — citric acid yeast antibiotic and amino acid fermentation
INVINO acid-stable polyether ester defoamer for wet-process phosphoric acid production — slurry foam control

Phosphoric Acid Production

Wet-process phosphoric acid production generates intense foam from CO₂ release and organic matter in phosphate rock. Foam overflow causes production losses, equipment damage, and safety hazards. INVINO® acid-stable polyether ester defoamers maintain effective foam control in highly corrosive and high-temperature slurry environments, without affecting P₂O₅ yield or gypsum crystal quality.
