Foam Breaker - Silicone-Based Defoamer (Code: 422)
Maintain the peak efficiency of your cleaning equipment and prevent messy overflows with Foam Breaker (Code: 422). When extracting carpet cleaning chemicals or scrubbing heavily soiled floors, excessive foam can quickly fill a recovery tank, forcing operators to stop and empty the machine prematurely. Foam Breaker is a specially formulated, silicone-based defoaming agent designed to instantly break down foam upon contact. This milky white, odorless liquid is highly effective, working in seconds to collapse suds and maximize your tank's true liquid capacity.
Engineered for versatility, Foam Breaker is completely safe to use in all recovery tanks and vacuum hoses, ranging from standard household wet/dry vacuums to heavy-duty commercial carpet extractors and large automatic floor scrubbers. Its unique formulation allows it to cling to the inner walls of hoses and tanks, actively preventing foam buildup as dirty water is suctioned into the machine. Highly economical, a single application lasts for hours, significantly reducing the time spent flushing excess foam out of machines at the end of a shift.
