Tego Antifoam 288 Organo-modified siloxane Degussa-Goldschmidt Defoamers / Anti-Foaming Agents Surfactants Surfactants >> Silicone based ADHESIVE >> Water-based TEGO® Antifoam 288 is an antifoam emulsion based on organo-modified siloxanes. TEGO Antifoam 288 provides reliable foam control and excellent long-term efficiency in aqueous media, particularly in polymer dispersions and emulsions and may therefore be used for foam control in a variety of industrial applications: as a processing aid for water based polymerization of thermoplastics and elastomers* in the production of E-, S- and MS-PVC throughout all production steps (polymerization, blow-down and demonomerisation)* in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices* in the textile industry (e. g. in textile sizing, production of non-wovens) in 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. Due to the special raw materials basis TEGO® Antifoam 288 combines excellent efficiency with maximum compatibility at the same time. This results in a unique product profile which cannot be achieved either with organic or with traditional silicone oil based antifoams. Furthermore undesirable effects associated with silicone based antifoams (silicone spotting, fish eyes) can be eliminated in most applications. Emulsion based on organo-modified siloxanes. Used as antifoam in water-based adhesives. Provides reliable foam control and long-term efficiency in aqueous media, particularly in polymer dispersions and emulsions. Possesses very good compatibility and undesirable effects associated with silicone based antifoams (silicone spotting, fish eyes) can be eliminated in most applications.
