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
in aqueous media
in the processing and application of polymer dispersions, emulsions and a multitude of other industrial applications (e.g. industrial and household cleaners) where the use of traditional silicone oil based antifoams is restricted for certain reasons
in pressure sensitive adhesives
