Organic self-emulsifying containing small amounts of organo-siloxanes. Used as antifoam for water-based adhesives.
Details
Organic concentrate with organo-siloxane
- good dilution stability
- Undesirable effects associated other organic or silicone antifoams (e. g. fogging of PVC) can be reduced or eliminated
Adhesives > Water-based
in the stripping of PVC latex in emulsion, suspension and micro-suspension polymerization
process aid for the water based polymerization of thermoplastics and elastomers (e. g. in the demonomerization)
in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices, e.g. adhesive formulation
in fermentation processes
as an environmental-friendly antifoam for waste water treatment
in a multitude of other industrial applications (TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 should not be used in strong alkaline media, i. e. pH > 10)
TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 is stable in closed containers for a minimum of 12 months.
Use level: 0.005-0.2 %.
