AGAR Antifoam 5L

Silicone-Based Antifoam for Commercial Cleaning Equipment

AGAR Antifoam is a professional defoaming solution formulated to control excessive foam generated during machine cleaning operations.

During carpet extraction, floor scrubbing, and wet vacuum cleaning, detergents and residues often create foam inside recovery tanks. Excessive foam can reduce available tank capacity, requiring more frequent emptying and reducing cleaning productivity.

AGAR Antifoam works by rapidly breaking down foam and helping prevent further foam formation within recovery systems. By controlling foam levels, operators can maximise tank efficiency, reduce interruptions, and help protect vacuum motors and equipment components from foam-related issues.

Its concentrated silicone-based formulation makes it suitable for use across a wide range of commercial cleaning equipment and maintenance programs.
