In some industrial processes foam is desired and necessary, but troublesome in many applications and to be avoided at all costs.

Kurt Obermeier GmbH & Co. KG offers a wide range of defoamers from various manufacturers and from proprietary developments.

  • Technical application advice is as part of the package as onsite plant trials.
  • There is also a modern fully-equipped lab for extensive trials.
  • Immediate samplings of potential defoamers enable you to effectively and cost-effectively take control of your foam problem.


Kurt Obermeier GmbH provides customised defoamer solutions for a wide variety of (process) technical issues.

Our range of silicone defoamers is characterised by lower application quantities compared to mineral oil-based defoamers. The most modern silicone defoamers based on organically modified siloxanes exhibit improved compatibility with organic systems.

Our silicone defoamers comprise the following:

Silicone-based defoamers

  • 100 % defoamers
    for use in formulations (e.g. cleaners, adhesives, detergents) as processing aids (distillation processes, process water, wastewater) or for the production of defoamer emulsions
     
  • Defoamer emulsions
    with a wide range of applications, including the areas of food technology, and biotechnology (FDA, Kosher, etc.), as process aids in pharmaceuticals and with special acid or alkali resistance and according to Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 (detergents regulation)
     
  • Solvent-based defoamers
     
  • Defoamers based on organically modified siloxanes
