Antifoams are generally produced based on alcohol or silicone for various applications. Silicone antifoam is an organosilicone defoamer manufactured as oil or water-based emulsion, which is dispersible in water and amine solutions and is specifically designed for foam control in amine systems. Silicone antifoams are widely used in the oil and gas industry to eliminate foam. In gas sweetening processes, silicone antifoams perform more effectively than other types of antifoams (equivalent to SAG-7133, a product of Momentive).
