General description

Silicone antifoam is a low-viscosity emulsion that contains 20% active ingredient and 33% solids. It is especially useful in pH critical applications due to its resistance to acids and alkalis.

Application

Silicone antifoam can be used for tackling foam in textile auxiliaries and also foam generated in surfactant-containing formulations employed in the agrochemicals, cleaners and petrochemicals industries. It is also an efficient defoamer for treating wastewater.
