Defoam

Defoaming agent — eliminates foam build-up in recycling systems and mixing tanks.

Defoam is a silicone-based defoaming agent that quickly collapses foam in drilling fluid mixing tanks and recycling systems. Foam reduces pump efficiency, interferes with solids control equipment, and makes accurate fluid testing impossible.

A small dose of Defoam restores normal fluid behaviour. Particularly important when using foam-prone polymers or when recycling fluid through shakers and hydrocyclones.

Key Benefits

  • Rapidly collapses foam
  • Restores pump efficiency
  • Enables accurate fluid testing
  • Small doses — highly effective
