Features

  • Superior Defoaming Efficiency: ECO-WT-004 exhibits exceptional defoaming efficiency, primarily due to its advanced polyether structure. This structure allows the antifoam agent to break down foam rapidly and maintain a stable defoaming effect over extended periods.
  • Long-lasting Performance: Unlike many antifoam agents that require frequent reapplication, ECO-WT-004 maintains its effectiveness for extended periods, ensuring consistent control of foam throughout the fermentation process.
  • Safety: ECO-WT-004 is characterized by its non-toxic and non-corrosive nature, making it safe for use in a variety of applications without posing risks to equipment or operators. The agent is also biologically inert, which prevents adverse reactions or side effects in the fermentation environment.

Applications

  • Fermentation Processes: ECO-WT-004 is widely used in pharmaceutical and industrial fermentation processes, including the production of antibiotics, monosodium glutamate (MSG), yeast, enzyme preparations, and various acids such as citric and itaconic acid. Its effectiveness extends to the fermentation of xanthan gum and other specialty products where foam control is critical.
  • Industrial Use: In addition to fermentation, ECO-WT-004 is suitable for applications in chemical processing, textile dyeing, coatings, and paper manufacturing. It also performs well in wastewater treatment, where its ability to prevent membrane fouling and control foam enhances overall process efficiency.

Packaging and Storage

  • Packaging: Available in 25-liter and 200-liter plastic drums
  • Storage: Stored in a cool, dry environment away from extreme temperatures.

The broad applicability of our polyether polyol antifoam ECO-WT-004 across various industrial processes and fermentation environments makes it an invaluable tool for managing foam and optimizing production efficiency.
