Antifoam and Defoaming Solutions for Wetting Agents

Discover how Mera Chemicals can help you reduce foaming problems related wetting agents and surfactants.

Foam build-up in wetting agents and surfactant-based cleaners can significantly reduce the efficiency of your operations — slowing production, reducing coverage, and increasing equipment wear.

At Mera Chemicals, we specialise in manufacturing high-performance antifoam and defoaming solutions designed to eliminate foam-related problems in even the most challenging chemical environments.

Solve Foam Issues in Acid, Caustic, and Solvent Cleaners

Our Australian-made defoamers are engineered to perform across a wide pH range, making them ideal for use in:

• Acid cleaners
• Caustic cleaners
• Solvent-based cleaning agents

Whether you’re formulating an aggressive acidic descaler or a heavy-duty degreaser, our antifoam products work quickly to suppress foam formation, improve wetting performance, and maintain stability across various temperatures and agitation levels.

Effective Foam Control for Surfactant Systems

Surfactants are essential for cleaning, emulsifying, and dispersing — but they are also a major cause of unwanted foaming.

Our tailored defoaming agents are compatible with:

• Anionic surfactants: Often used in detergents and degreasers, these produce significant foam. Our defoamers rapidly knock down foam without disrupting cleaning performance.
• Cationic surfactants: Common in disinfectants and fabric softeners, these require defoamers with a low reactivity profile to maintain stability — which our formulations deliver.
• Non-ionic surfactants: Used for their mildness and versatility, these can also foam excessively. Our solutions reduce surface tension disruption and control foam without affecting efficacy
