-
Paints and coatings
-
Oil and gas
-
Water treatment
-
Others
The top three segments based on the application for the global
anti-foaming agents market are discussed below:
Global anti-foaming agents market for pulp and paper applications
Organosiloxane materials are generally found throughout the
manufacturing process of pulp and paper, right from digestion of wood
chips to finishing and recycling of papers. Anti-foaming agents are used
in pulp and paper mills to minimize the defects caused due to foam
formation. They avoid the formation of surface foam and entrapped air.
According to Ajay Adhikari, a lead specialty
chemicals research analyst from Technavio, “Anti-foaming
agents improve drainage in the paper mill. They also improve drainage in
the sulfite stock, Kraft pulp stock, and the bleaching plant screen room
area in the pulp mill. They also minimize paper breaking and
improve paper machine runnability.”
Global anti-foaming agents market for paints and coatings applications
In 2016, the paints and coatings application accounted for 22.01% of
market share in the global anti-foaming agents market. In this
application, there are numerous processes in which foam formation takes
place such as mixing, filtration, spraying, dissolving and various other
operations such as pouring, and stirring.
“Anti-foaming agents are expected to retain their market share during
the forecast period due to their reduced harmful effect on the
environment. These additives have low VOC emission, negligible paint
sludge residue, and are devoid of noxious odors,” says Ajay.
Global anti-foaming agents market for oil and gas applications
Anti-foaming agents are used in drilling mud to remove the air and gas
trapped in water-based and oil-based mud systems. Anti-foaming agents
are also used in cementing applications in oil and gas wells to remove
unwanted foam.
They are effective at high temperature and a wide range of pH. Moreover,
anti-foaming agents are also used in cuttings removal in air drilling,
water drilling, and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) applications.
