Water Based Anti-foaming Agent VS Oil Based Anti-foaming Agent

In recent years, more and more defoamer plants appear in the market, and the types of anti-foaming agent are also increasing.It mainly divided into water based anti-foaming agent and oil based anti-foaming agent.How to choose a suitable anti-foaming agent is a tricky problem for many manufacturers.But don’t worry,Zilibon company will give you some suggestions for you to grasp the same and difference of two anti-foaming agents.
