CLEANING CHEMICALSAGAR 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.
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.

Using AGAR Antifoam is straightforward. AGAR’s Product Data Sheet states that one small teaspoonful is sufficient to destroy foam formed inside cleaning-machine tanks. The product should be shaken before use, then the required quantity added to the recovery tank, preferably near the inlet pipe to maximise contact with incoming solution.
For professional carpet cleaners, facility-maintenance teams and commercial cleaning contractors, AGAR Antifoam provides a highly concentrated and practical solution for controlling unwanted foam, maximising recovery-tank capacity and supporting efficient operation of professional cleaning equipment.
AGAR Antifoam is used to break down foam in the recovery tanks of carpet extractors, scrubbers and wet vacuums to maintain tank capacity and machine efficiency.
Yes. It is a highly concentrated silicone-based defoaming agent designed for professional cleaning applications.
Yes. It is specifically designed for machines with recovery tanks including carpet extractors, floor scrubbers and wet vacuum cleaners.
Excess foam reduces tank capacity and may reach vacuum motors, potentially causing damage or operational downtime. Antifoam prevents these problems and keeps machines running efficiently.
