## Abstract The mechanism of the foam‐inhibiting action of simethicone, mainly used against flatulence, has been studied. Its effect on foaming systems containing synthetic gastric juice and a surface‐active substance (anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, soap solution) was quantitated by measu

The antifoaming of aqueous surfactant solutions by mixtures of nonpolar oils and hydrophobic solid particles was investigated and a new mechanism was suggested. According to this mechanism, the antifoam drops containing the particles flow from the lamellae of a static foam into its plateau borders a
The mechanism of antifoaming in a nonionic Triton X-100 surfactant solution with silicone polyethers (SILWET L-7210, L-7230, and L-7500), the so-called "cloud point antifoams," was investigated. The cloud point (CP) studies showed that the CP of a Triton X-100/silicone polyether mixed system is betw
Antifoam compositions for aqueous surfactants are usually emulsions of insoluble oils containing hydrophobic solids. The emulsion allows easy access to the aqueous environment. The oil droplets carry the solid particles to the foam interfaces by spreading, which also contributes to foam rupture. The
