Leading Supplier of Silicone Antifoam
Mera Chemicals is one of the leading suppliers of silicone antifoam solutions for a wide range of Australian businesses. Our silicone antifoam product is made right here in Australia.
Silicone antifoam is a preventative product and is added to the process to prevent foam occurring and knocks down foam from building up. In layman’s terms, it is a chemical product that is essential in solving the problem caused by foam.It destabilizes tiny foam bubbles by weakening the wall that supports them. The antifoam makes the small bubbles join up to become bigger foam bubbles which burst over time and disperse.
Silicone Antifoam can be used in food processing or drink manufacture and a wide range of industries such as chemical processing, paper production, fermentation, solvent production, textile manufacture, and waste treatment.
The chemical magic of our Australian Made silicone antifoam product means that for a small additional cost, in so many industries, applications and processes, not much works without it!
If you have a foaming problem in your business, we can help. Get in touch and we can provide a sample silicone antifoam product or help you with a bespoke solution. Don’t lose valuable product due to excess foam, talk to us today.

After a devastating factory fire in late 2023, I had to relocate and find a new blending facility in Melbourne. I was initially guided by positive reviews from several raw material suppliers and after meeting with the team at Mera Chemicals … More I knew that I had found my new manufacturer. I can honestly say that working with Mera has been an absolute pleasure and they have assisted at every point of my product development and production. Every member of staff is involved in the process of ensuring that production is completed to the highest quality standards and in a timely manner. My experience with Mera Chemicals has been exceptional.

Excellent local company for Australian-made products. When buying sanitisers, customers can choose from unscented or a selection of essential oils. I asked about the possibility of an alcohol solution without glycerol to use for my masks … More instead of my hands, and both Angela and John, the lead chemist, spent lots of time clarifying exactly what I required. John even called me to check whether I preferred ethanol to the isopropyl I asked for, explaining the difference between the two. Really lovely people and affordable, Australian made sanitisers that I trust.
