Defoamers are a key additive in the textile auxiliary process to control foam generation and stability. Traditionally, many customers have used SREs in textile auxiliary processes to address foam issues. However, our Rickman defoamers have introduced two products, RK-30N and RK-530T, that can be used in place of SREs to provide you with a new foam control solution. Below are answers to some common...

Pulp is in the paper making process will be added to the pulp gum, filler, color and other additives modulation into a fiber suspension for papermaking. Pulp is an organic substance with general colloidal properties, rich in plasticity, can be used as a dye and other chemicals on the fabric transfer agent. In the practical application of pulps, the problem of foaming arises from time to time. Thes...

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, sewage treatment has also received more and more attention. Cesspool is the main equipment for sewage treatment, whether it is domestic wastewater or industrial wastewater, which contains a large number of polluting substances, the composition is more complex, so the difficulty of water treatment is also higher. In the sewage treatment pro...

In the production process of gypsum, we can often find that in order to maintain the balance of the circulatory system of the desulfurization plant, often need to remove a certain amount of wastewater, and this wastewater often contains a lot of heavy metals and harmful suspended solids, therefore, in order to ensure that the subsequent water treatment can be a good operation, the subsequent water...

Building materials is a general term for materials used in civil engineering and construction, including cement, concrete, wood, stone and a series of construction and decoration materials. In the production and actual use of building materials, foam often appears due to irrational grading and other reasons. Why does foam appear in the production and use of building materials? 1. Unreasonable grad...

In the textile industry, foam is a common yet disruptive challenge during key processes such as dyeing, finishing, and washing. Excessive foam formation can reduce process efficiency, cause inconsistent dyeing results, and lead to costly downtime. Rickman Defoamers offer advanced foam control solutions designed specifically to address these challenges, improving production efficiency and overall p...

Foam control is an often-overlooked challenge in agriculture that can disrupt processes and reduce efficiency. Whether it occurs during pesticide application, irrigation, or fertilizer production, foam can lead to blockages, inconsistent applications, and delays, all of which increase costs and reduce productivity. Foam Challenges in Agriculture Foam formation occurs during the mixing, spraying, a...

In the construction materials industry, foam control is vital for producing high-quality, durable products. Foam often forms during the mixing and application of materials such as concrete, plaster, adhesives, and coatings. If not properly managed, foam can lead to air entrapment, reduced product strength, uneven surface finish, and higher production costs. Defoamers, or anti-foaming agents, play ...
