What Are Defoamers?

Defoamers are specialty process aids used to control or eliminate foam generated during fertilizer manufacturing processes. Unlike fertilizer coatings or conditioning additives, defoamers are process aids that are consumed during manufacturing and are not intended to remain in the finished fertilizer product.

By reducing excessive foam, defoamers help manufacturers improve equipment utilization, increase production efficiency, and maintain stable operating conditions throughout the manufacturing process.
