Smart foam control, tailored for fermentation

  • EscaTM Ferm-S ANTIFOAM (2)
  • EscaTM FDK Antifoam
  • SAGTM 471 Antifoam (1)
  • EscaTM NVD Antifoam (2)

Forget one-size-fits-all. Fermentation is complex, and foam behaves differently in every process.

That’s why we bring you a portfolio that covers every need:

Esca™ Ferm-S Antifoam → sterilization-stable, pharma-grade protection when purity matters most.
Esca™ NVD Antifoam → vegetable-based, food-grade, Kosher & Halal certified.
SAG™ 471 Antifoam → Excellent foam control  performance in  fermentation processes.
Esca™ FDK Antifoam → highly effective, enabling attainment of foam control with minimum addition of non-nutrient additives.

Biofermentation is transforming industries 

From food and beverages to pharmaceuticals, personal care, and agriculture, biofermentation is driving innovation — but foam remains a persistent challenge. Left uncontrolled, it can reduce yields, raise costs, and affect process stability.

At Safic-Alcan, we bring scientific expertise, a broad portfolio of antifoams, and hands-on support to help formulators stay efficient and reliable. Read our article: Biofermentation and Foam Control: Unlocking Sustainable Innovation for Modern Formulations to explore the challenges — and the solutions.
