Additional Information: Simethicone is a high-stability organosilicon polymer auxiliary material meeting international pharmacopoeia and food-grade standards. It possesses unique surface activity, excellent defoaming, anti-foaming and gas isolation properties, with low surface tension, good thermal stability and chemical inertness. It can rapidly eliminate foam and inhibit foam regeneration in liquid systems, and is clinically used for relieving gastrointestinal flatulence and as a defoaming agent for pharmaceutical preparations. In addition, it is widely applied in pharmaceutical defoaming, cosmetic skin protectants, food processing defoaming and industrial auxiliary fields, featuring high safety, no irritation and excellent comprehensive performance.
