| Product description: TEGO® Antifoam 1488 is an antifoam emulsion based on organo-modified siloxanes. Application: TEGO® Antifoam 1488 is used as antifoam in a broad range of aqueous based systems. It provides reliable foam control in water based adhesives as well as in the processing and appli-cation of polymer dispersions, emulsions and a multitude of other industrial applications, where the use of traditional silicone oil based antifoams is restricted for certain reasons. Applications for TEGO® Antifoam 1488 are: - Processing and application of polymer dispersions/ lattices
- Textile industry (e.g. textile sizing, production of non-woven)
- Tank side defoamer for all different types of aqueous metal working fluids (soluble oils, semi- and full synthetic fluids).
Properties / Benefits: TEGO® Antifoam 1488 has a unique product profile that combines excellent foam suppression and long term efficiency with maximum compatibility at the same time. These properties cannot be achieved 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. TEGO® Antifoam 1488 is highly compatible. It does not deteriorate the shelf-life of ready-to-use emulsions.Information provided by Evonik |
