Tego Antifoam KS 53 Organic concentrate with organoo-siloxane Degussa-Goldschmidt Defoamers / Anti-Foaming Agents Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) ADHESIVE >> Water-based TEGO Antifoam KS 53 is a selfemulsifying organic antifoam concentrate, containing small amounts of organosiloxanes for enhancing the efficiency. TEGO Antifoam KS 53 destroys foam or prevents foam formation reliably in aqueous media and may be used for foam control in a variety of industrial processing aid for the water based polymerization of thermoplastics and elastomers (e. g. in the demonomerization) in the stripping of PVC latex in emulsion,suspension and micro-suspension polymerization in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices 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) Due to the special selection of active ingredients TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 outperforms conventional organic antifoams in many respects (dispersibility, efficiency). Furthermore undesirable effects associated with other organic antifoams can be reduced or even eliminated (e. g. fogging of PVC). Organic self-emulsifion containing small amounts of organo-siloxanes. Used as antifoam for water-based adhesives. Offers good dispersibility. Undesirable effects associated with other organic antifoams can be reduced or eliminated.
