XIAMETER ? brand Silicones for Foam Control Silicone antifoams from Dow Corning have been designed to safely and efficiently reduce problems with foam during processing or to serve as formulation aids. The broad range of applications where silicone antifoams are used includes: ? Home laundry ? Detergent ? Textile dyeing and scouring ? Pulp and paper manufacturing ? Adhesives ? Latexes ? Emulsion polymerization ? Chemical production ? Food and beverage ? Distillation ? Paint and coating ? Gas/oil separation ? Refinery operations ? Drilling mud ? Gas treatment ? Lubricants ? Agrochemicals ? Metalworking ? Wastewater treatment ? Water desalination ? Fermentation ? Life sciences Advantages of silicone antifoams Silicone antifoams: ? Are effective at much lower dosage rates than organic antifoams, leading to significantly lower cost-in-use. ? Tend to be much more persistent (longer lasting than organic antifoams ? Tend to be less reactive in the foaming medium, leading to fewer compatibility problems ? Are stable over a wide temperature range Suggested Usage Level: A typical usage level is 50 parts per million silicone for industrial applications. This level will depend on the exact application, as factors such as the pH, temperature, shear and formulation composition will affect the antifoaming performance. Antifoam Types Fluid : Inert, low-toxicity silicone fluids, available in a wide range of viscosities. Good option for controlling foam in nonaqueous applications. Dispersion : Aliphatic solvent dispersion of fluids. Mainly used in oil and gas applications. Compound : Silicone fluids containing a suspension of finely powdered silica to enhance their defoaming efficiency. Primarily used in nonaqueous applications. Emulsion : Emulsified antifoam compound in water. Good option for controlling foam in aqueous applications. Concentrate : High-concentration, self-emulsifiable products. Powder : Solid powdered compound antifoam. Can be added to dry products to prevent foam
