How can China's defoamer industry break through technological barriers?

In the past decade, China's defoamer industry has shifted from relying on imports to gradually achieving domestic substitution and even occupying a place in the global market. Behind this transformation is the concentrated embodiment of three major advantages: technology research and development, industrial chain collaboration, and customized services.   

1、 Technological innovation: breaking foreign monopolies

According to China Chemical News, the number of domestic defoamer patents has increased by 40% year-on-year, and some products have surpassed international brands in terms of performance. For example, nanocomposite defoamers can be modified with nano silica to enhance their high temperature resistance (such as in the textile printing and dyeing industry),

Intelligent responsive defoamers automatically activate based on pH or temperature changes and are suitable for complex working conditions.

2、 Industrial chain synergy advantage

The well-established chemical industry chain in China provides strong support for the  industry, with self-sufficiency rates of over 80% for raw materials such as organosilicon monomers and ethylene oxide. The defoamer industry has formed deep cooperation with industries such as papermaking and water treatment, while promoting technology and formula optimization and upgrading.   

3、 Customized service capability

In response to the differentiated needs of segmented scenarios, domestic enterprises provide flexible solutions and adjust their defoaming plans in a timely manner according to their different needs, with the goal of achieving the highest production efficiency and reducing costs for the enterprise.

In the future, with the application of 5G and AI technologies in formula research and development, the defoamer industry will accelerate further development towards intelligence and precision, thereby breaking through the barriers of defoamer technology and consolidating global competitiveness.
