Suspension emulsion antifoams are specially designed to control foam in pesticide suspension concentrates. These antifoams are formulated to work effectively in the unique conditions of agricultural formulations, where foam can disrupt production processes, reduce product quality, and complicate application. In pesticide formulations, maintaining a stable suspension is crucial for ensuring the consistent distribution of active ingredients, and unwanted foam can interfere with this stability.

The primary function of suspension emulsion antifoams in pesticide formulations is to prevent foam formation during mixing, filling, and application processes. By incorporating finely dispersed, hydrophobic particles and emulsifiers, these antifoams effectively reduce surface tension and rapidly collapse foam bubbles. This action ensures smooth production processes and consistent product performance in the field. Moreover, these antifoams are designed to be compatible with a wide range of pesticide ingredients, ensuring that their presence does not alter the efficacy of the active components.

In addition to their foam-control properties, suspension emulsion antifoams are formulated to enhance the long-term stability of pesticide suspensions. They help prevent issues such as sedimentation and phase separation, which are critical for maintaining product efficacy over time. By ensuring that the pesticide suspension remains homogeneous, these antifoams contribute to more precise and effective application, ultimately leading to better pest control and crop protection.

How to Use Suspension Emulsion Antifoams

  • 10-1000 ppm based on total formulation with sufficient mixing. Added after the foam is generated or added as a foam suppressing component
  •  Modifying the dosage according to different systems,
  • It should be properly stirred before use, and diluted with cold water and used immediately.
  • Do not directly dilute with hot water.
  • A proper amount of foam inhibitor should be added before the foaming liquid foams, which can effectively prevent the elimination of foam, and do not use excessive amounts.
  • To get the best foam suppression effect, it must be completely dispersed in the foaming solution. For application, use cold water or foaming solution to dilute the required amount to 1:20 or higher solution. (Should be used immediately after dilution, do not store for too long).
