Regulator is an elite, fast, and effective method for eliminating the inconvenience of in-tank foaming.
Product Overview
Engineered with a powerful silica formulation, Regulator rapidly suppresses foam during filling and agitation. Its efficient, NPE-free formula saves time, reduces waste, and eliminates spillage of chemicals in foam.
RAPID FOAM SUPPRESSION
Breaks down existing foam and prevents new formation
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Reduces mixing and cleaning time while minimizing waste and pesticide exposure
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY
Delivers effective foam control without affecting tank mix active ingredients
Frequently asked questions
What is an antifoam/defoaming agent?
It’s a utility adjuvant added to agrochemical mixtures, like pesticides or fertilizers, to reduce existing foam or prevent new foam from forming during mixing, storage, or spraying.
Why is foam control important in agriculture?
Foam can lead to inaccurate dosing, spray nozzle clogging, overflow, pump cavitation, and inconsistent application. In production processes, it also reduces mixing efficiency and can cause equipment malfunctions. Defoamers help maintain application accuracy and system performance.
How do defoamers work? What is the difference between defoamers and antifoam agents?
- Antifoam agents prevent foam from forming, typically by altering surface tension before foam develops.
- Defoamers act on existing foam, spreading across bubbles and causing them to collapse.
When should I add a defoamer to my spray mix?
Typically, early in the mixing process, to proactively prevent foam.
What is Regulator?
Regulator is an elite antifoaming/defoaming agent that eliminates the inconvenience from in-tank foaming. Regulator is formulated to aggressively suppress foam that builds during filling and agitation.
When Should I use Regulator?
Use when:
- Operating high-speed mixing/filling equipment
- Preparing tank mixes with surfactants or other products containing surfactants known to create foam
- Anticipating foam creation
- Working in high-agitation environment
- Mixing in tanks where carryover or tank contamination can be an issue
- Using overhead filling
Is Regulator a defoamer or antifoaming agent?
Regulator can be utilized preventively as an antifoaming agent or curatively as a defoamer. Best management practices suggest utilizing Regulator as an antifoaming agent. Apply to mixes prior to the formation of foam.
