Agriculture

Pesticides and fertilizers are widely used in the production of crops around the globe and are necessary to feed the every growing population.  Common pesticides are acidic in nature and sprayed over crops to prevent bugs from ruining good produce.

Water Treatment

Foam generated in an aeration tank, secondary clarifier, and in an anaerobic digester can be a big problem.  Surfactants found in municipal water treatment facilities are most often from slowly biodegradable sources like detergent and food.

Oilfield & Gas

Natural gas which escapes from underground during drilling can cause foam in the drilling fluid.  Surfactants used in the drilling mud can stabilize the foam and negatively affect the suspension system.  For water based or oil based drilling muds, SIXIN has your answer. 

Industrial & Metalworking

SIXIN's advanced organosilicone technology and precision manufacturing provide an economical, high-performance solution for global metalworking fluids. These formulations ensure superior foam control and stability, effectively managing lubricants and antifoams during metal cutting, while minimizing filtration risks and ensuring long-term reliability.

Construction

The buildup of air during mixing of construction cement can cause structural problems in the cement, resulting in weaker strengths and equipment inefficiencies. 

Coatings & Inks & Adhesives

Antifoam is used in a variety of coating formulations including decorative applications, automotive, aerospace, architectural, and marine applications.  During the manufacturing process, coatings go through a high-speed dispersion process to mix pigments and fillers.

Textile

Defoamers in a textile applications can be added at pre-treatment, sizing, and printing.  In the synthesis process of starch gelatinization and PVA dissolved in high temperatures and acrylic acid slurry will foam during mixing.  Silicone additives are added in small doses to help control the foam during this process.

Food & Drugs

During the fermentation process, CO2 gas and proteinaceous surfactants combine to form problematic foams in tanks which limit production capacity, increase employee safety risk, and can damage equipment.  SIXIN's supplies batch fermentation plants throughout the world with non-silicone polyether and silicone emulsion antifoams to optimize their process at an economic cost.

Star Products

SIXIN offers top-tier defoamers designed for a wide range of industries. These flagship products deliver exceptional efficiency and cost-effectiveness, ensuring superior performance and reliability to meet stringent industry demands.

Home & Personal Care

SIXIN's antifoams are essential for ensuring optimal performance in liquid and powder detergents, preventing foam overflow and enhancing washing efficiency. Widely used by both small and major producers, SIXIN also offers solutions for other applications like dishwasher tablets and fabric softeners, tailored to meet diverse needs without compromising product quality.

Other Additives

SIXIN offers a range of specialized additives, including modified silicone leveling and wetting agents, as well as acetylenic glycol-based defoamers. These additives improve surface tension, substrate wetting, and defect prevention in both water-based and solvent-based systems, ensuring smooth, high-quality finishes.
