TEGO® Antifoam 1488 is an antifoam emulsion based on organo-modified siloxanes. It provides reliable foam control in water-based adhesive formulations as well as in polymerization processes during production of polymer dispersion.
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 application 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 / latices
• 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)
