Low foaming agent

Low foaming Ingredients or Chemicals 

Description of Low Foaming Agent: low foaming agents are, like foaming agents, ingredients that are added to a formulation to affect the foaming properties of the product. Where foaming agents increase the amount and improve the quality of the foam formed, low foaming agents mainly boast excellent detergent properties and have little impact on the quantity of foam. This makes them ideal for both home care and I&I care cleaning products, where cleaning capabilities are more important than foam forming properties. Examples include products like Isooctyl Glucoside60, Hexyl Glycoside75 and Dipropionate 2EI40.

2-ethylhexyl Imino Dipropionate - Potassium Salt in water (β-Alanine, N-C8-18-alkyl derivs., monopotassium salts)
Item #: 1107
Conventional amphoteric surfactants can contain up to 7% salt, whereas Dipropionate 2EI70 is salt free and will help to avoid damage to metal vessels and equipment. This low foaming, hydrotropic ingredient is an amphoteric dipropionate surfactant. Amphoteric surfactants will act like anionic surfactants in alkaline solutions and like cationic surfactants in acidic conditions. Dipropionate 2EI70 is a clear amber colored liquid with a shelf life of 2 years. It’s mainly used in HI&I surface cleaner formulations
