Water treatment is a crucial link in the leather processing process. However, foam problems are often encountered in this process, which highlights the importance of defoamers for leather water treatment.
Defoamers for leather water treatment have the ability to quickly defoam. Once added to the system that produces foam, it can quickly reduce the surface tension of the foam, thinning and breaking the foam film. For example, some silicone defoamers can work the moment they come into contact with the foam.
Compatible with various chemical agents in the leather treatment process. Whether it is acidic or alkaline tanning and dyeing agents, defoamers will not react chemically with them, thereby not affecting the normal chemical process of leather treatment. For example, when using chrome tanning agents (acidic environment) or vegetable tanning agents (acidic to neutral environment), leather water treatment defoamers can work normally.
Determine the appropriate amount of defoamer according to the severity of the foam and the scale of the treatment system. Too little use may not achieve the ideal defoaming effect, while too much use may cause waste and may have some subtle effects on leather treatment in some cases, such as slightly changing the feel of the leather.
Leather water treatment defoamer plays an indispensable role in the water treatment process of leather processing. It effectively solves the foam problem, improves production efficiency, and ensures the quality of leather products. With the continuous development of the leather industry, the demand for high-performance and environmentally friendly leather water treatment defoamers will continue to increase, which will also promote the continuous innovation and progress of related technologies.
