| TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 is a self-emulsifying, APEO-free organic antifoam concentrate based on a food grade vegetable oil, containing small amounts of organomodified siloxanes for enhancing the efficiency. Application: 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 applications: - in the stripping of PVC latex in emulsion, suspension and micro-suspension polymerization
- process aid for the water based polymerization of thermoplastics and elastomers (e. g. in the demonomerization)
- in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices*, e.g. adhesive formulation
- 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)
Properties / Benefits: Due to the special selection of active ingredients TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 outperforms conventional organic antifoams in many respects (compatibility, efficiency). Furthermore, undesirable effects associated with other organic antifoams can be reduced or even eliminated (e. g. fogging of PVC).Information provided by Evonik |
