AGAR ANTIFOAM

A specialized silicone-based defoaming additive designed to control and eliminate foam build-up in cleaning machines. Here’s a concise overview of its purpose and function:

How Does It Work?

Silicone-Based Formula: ANTIFOAM utilizes a potent silicone compound to effectively break down foam and bubbles. Silicone-based defoamers are highly efficient in reducing foam because they alter the surface tension of the foam, causing it to collapse.

Foam Management: By rapidly breaking down foam, ANTIFOAM prevents excessive foam build-up in the recovery tanks of cleaning machines. This is crucial because:

Prevents Overflows: Excessive foam reduces the effective capacity of the recovery tank, which means it fills up with foam instead of cleaning liquid, leading to more frequent tank emptying.
Protects Equipment: If foam rises high enough to enter the vacuum motor, it can cause damage to the machinery. ANTIFOAM helps avoid this risk by controlling foam levels.

Efficient Operation: With foam under control, cleaning machines can operate more efficiently, reducing downtime and maintenance issues related to foam management.

Uses of ANTIFOAM:

Carpet Extractors: In machines used for deep cleaning carpets, ANTIFOAM helps manage foam that can accumulate in the recovery tank during the extraction process.
Floor Scrubbers: For automatic floor scrubbing machines, ANTIFOAM keeps foam in check to ensure efficient cleaning and avoid disruptions caused by foam overflow.
Wet Vacuum Cleaners: When using wet vacuums for extracting liquids, ANTIFOAM controls foam that can arise from the dirty water collected, preventing potential damage and maintaining optimal performance.

Why Use ANTIFOAM?

Versatile Application: ANTIFOAM’s formulation is compatible with various types of recovery tanks, making it a universal solution for foam-related issues in different cleaning equipment.
Prevents Foam-Related Problems: It helps in avoiding problems such as tank overflow, equipment damage, and reduced cleaning efficiency, ensuring that the cleaning process remains smooth and effective.

In summary, ANTIFOAM is an essential additive for managing foam across a range of cleaning machines, contributing to better performance and maintenance of equipment.

ANTIFOAM ensures that cleaning operations run smoothly and efficiently by managing foam issues, which enhances the overall performance and longevity of cleaning machines.
