1 Silicones Delivering your potential the art of foam control

2 foam control agents Silicone What are silicones? The term silicone refers to the chemical family of polyorganosiloxanes, polymers constituted essentially of the chemical elements Silicon (Si) and oxygen (O), widely present in mineral compounds. They are a great combination of the mineral s strength, and the creativity of organic chemistry. Silicone polymers have many attractive features that are beneficial in the field of foam control, including: Thermal stability (from -50 C to +250 C) Resistance to natural ageing (oxidation, UV) Low surface energy Easy to handle, process and dilute High compatibility with numerous and various media in a large range of temperature and ph A drop of silicone chemistry is just what you need are the silicone foam control agents of choice to enhance productivity and quality in many industries. When compared to other organic antifoams, silicones provide unique performance that is essential to your business. 14 Si Silicon Si Atomic Number 14 Foam Control Performance Very high efficiency at low dosage Safety and reliability Versatility Silcolapse Durability Long lasting action Durable stability Chemically inert Productivity Process efficiency Product quality 2 3
