  • Products with a reduced foaming power are primarily intended for use in washing and dishwashing machines, where sometimes a limited repression of foam is sufiicient while in other cases a stronger foam repression may be desired. Products which foam in the middle range of temperature up to about 65 C., but at higher temperatures (70 to 100 C.) develop less and less foam are of special practical importance.
  • a reduced foaming power is frequently obtained with combinations of different types of surface-active compounds, especially with combinations of synthetic anionic surface-active compounds, particularly of (l) sulfates and/or sulfonates or of (2) non-ionics on the one hand and (3) soaps on the other hand.
  • the foaming power can be affected by the particular soap used.

  • non-surface-active foam inhibitors are frequently only completely effective at temperatures at which they are present in the liquid state, so that the foaming behavior of the products can be controlled by choice of suitable foam inhibitors in a similar way to that by the choice of soaps from fatty acids of suitable chain lengths.
