Chemical Composition
Organo-modified siloxane
Advantages
- Provides reliable foam control and long-term efficiency in aqueous media, particularly in polymer dispersions and emulsions
- Possesses very good compatibility
- undesirable effects associated with silicone based antifoams (silicone spotting, fish eyes) can be eliminated in most applications
Other Applications
Adhesives > Water-based
Processing and application of polymer dispersions/lattices
Textile industry (e.g. textile sizing, production of non-wovens)
Tank side defoamer for all different types of aqueous metal working fluids (soluble oils, semi-and full synthetic fluids)
