Foam control is required in dozens of industries such as chemical
manufacturing, textile auxiliaries, medical and pharmaceutical, food and beverage, household and
cleaning products, petroleum refining, pulp processing, agrochemicals,
metal working fluids, polymers and plastics, and water treatment.
Silicone antifoams and defoamers are used as formulation and processing aids
in chemical manufacturing in processes like mixing, bottle filling, gas
scrubbing, distillation, emulsion polymerization, filtration, and
fermentation.
Our technology includes specialized expertise in the protection of antifoam
activities with our encapsulation technology, used in powdered laundry detergent foam control for
example.
Dow Corning products are designed for both immediate (defoamer) and
persistent control (antifoam) formulations, and are available in compound,
emulsion, and powder forms, for both aqueous and non-aqueous systems.
Effective foam control can be achieved in aqueous systems ranging in pH
between 2 and 12, and over a wide temperature range.
