Frequently Bought Together

AGAR Antifoam 5L

Professional Silicone-Based Defoamer for Carpet Extractors, Scrubbers & Wet Vacuums

AGAR Antifoam is a professional silicone-based defoaming additive developed to quickly control excessive foam and bubbles that accumulate inside cleaning-machine recovery tanks. Designed for use with professional cleaning equipment, it helps prevent foam from occupying valuable recovery-tank capacity, reducing unnecessary tank emptying and supporting more efficient cleaning operations.

🫧 Powerful Foam-Control Technology

During carpet extraction, floor scrubbing and wet vacuum cleaning, detergent residues and contaminated recovery water can generate excessive foam. When foam occupies the recovery tank, less liquid can be collected before the tank needs to be emptied.

AGAR Antifoam uses a silicone oil emulsion to rapidly break down foam and bubbles. AGAR states that it is suitable for all recovery tanks, including carpet extractors, floor scrubbers and wet vacuum cleaners. Controlling foam also helps reduce the risk of foam rising into the vacuum motor, where it may cause equipment damage.
