<p>Provided is a method for controlling foam formation, which method comprises contacting a substance with a foam-controlling agent comprising one or more of the following ester compounds (a)-(c): (a) an ester formed from a saturated or unsaturated linear or branched aliphatic alcohol having from 1-18 carbon atoms, which alcohol may comprise one or more hydroxy groups, and a saturated or unsaturated linear or branched aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having from 6-24 carbon atoms, which carboxylic acid may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more hydroxy groups; (b) an ester formed by esterifying at least one of the hydroxy groups of a saturated or unsaturated linear or branched aliphatic polyol having from 2-6 carbon atoms, with a saturated or unsaturated linear or branched aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having from 6-24 carbon atoms, which carboxylic acid may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more hydroxy groups, or by esterifying at least one of the hydroxy groups of the polyol with an oligomer formed from condensation of the monocarboxylic acid, wherein the polyol may be partially or fully esterified; and (c) an ester formed by esterifying at least one of the hydroxy groups of a polyethyleneglycol having a molecular weight of up to 600 and/or a polypropyleneglycol having a molecular weight of up to 600, with a saturated or unsaturated linear or branched aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having from 6-24 carbon atoms, which carboxylic acid may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more hydroxy groups, or by esterifying at least one of the hydroxy groups of the polyethyleneglycol and/or polypropyleneglycol with an oligomer formed from condensation of the monocarboxylic acid.</p> |
