AgEssentials DEFOAMER
Fill faster. Spray cleaner. Zero hassle.
A high-quality silicone-based antifoaming & defoaming agent built to prevent foam formation and defeat existing foam in pesticide spray solutions — so your operation spends less time waiting and more time spraying.
Silicone-Based · Antifoaming · Defoaming · Tank-Mix Compatible
Knock down foam. Move on with your day.
Foam costs you time and chemistry.
- Tank fills slow to a crawl as the foam cap rises.
- Premature shut-offs mean partial loads and lost field hours.
- Inaccurate volumes hurt rate consistency and chemistry performance.
Foam dies on contact. Loading flies.
- Fill tanks 2–3× faster — no foam cap, no waiting.
- Accurate volumes every load for consistent rates in the field.
- Works across agricultural, turf, forestry, and industrial sites.
The advantages
Why operators reach for AgEssentials DEFOAMER
A concentrated silicone formula that solves foam without disrupting your tank mix.
Knocks Down Foam on Contact
Works in seconds to defeat existing foam — no more waiting on bubbles to settle before you can move on.
Prevents Foam Formation
Silicone-based chemistry keeps foam from forming in the first place, even with aggressive agitation and surfactant-heavy tank mixes.
Faster Tank Fills
Fill 2–3× faster by eliminating the foam cap that slows loading and forces premature shut-offs.
Broad Tank-Mix Compatibility
Mixes cleanly with most pesticide solutions — herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and foliar nutrients.
Multi-Site Flexibility
Use across agricultural, forestry, turf and ornamental, industrial, structural, and non-cropland sites.
Concentrated Silicone Formula
10% polydimethylsiloxane — a little goes a long way. Most jobs need only 1–2 fl oz per 100 gallons.
The chemistry
Silicone power, concentrated.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the gold standard in foam control. Its low surface tension lets it spread across the foam film in milliseconds, destabilizing bubbles on contact and stopping new foam from forming.
- Fast acting: works in seconds, not minutes.
- Low use rate: 1–2 fl oz handles 100 gallons of solution.
- Stays clean: compatible with most tank mixes — no residue or separation.
Principal Functioning Agents
Application & use
Simple rates. Reliable results.
Proper rate varies with foaminess of spray chemicals, water chemistry, equipment, and application method. Higher rates may be used if needed — but do not exceed 5% of finished spray volume.
As an Antifoaming Agent
Add at the start of loading to prevent foam formation.
As a Defoaming Agent
If foam persists, add to knock down existing foam.
