Silicone fluids are unparalleled in controlling foam and enabling release in industrial manufacturing processes.

Antifoaming and Defoaming: Due to their low surface tension and incompatibility with aqueous systems, even parts-per-million (ppm) concentrations of silicone fluid can effectively collapse foam. This is critical in wastewater treatment, pulp and paper processing, chemical manufacturing, and food fermentation, where foam can reduce capacity, cause spills, and hinder efficiency.

Mold Release Agents: Applied as thin films, silicone fluids prevent sticky materials—such as polyurethane foams, rubber tires, and composite plastics—from adhering to molds. This ensures easy demolding, improves production cycle times, and extends mold life without contaminating the final product.

These articles highlight the foundational role of silicone fluid as a critical enabler of performance, safety, and efficiency across the global industrial and consumer landscape.
