TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 is a self-emulsifying, APEO-free organic antifoam concentrate based on a food grade vegetable oil, containing small amounts of organo-modified siloxanes for enhancing the efficiency.
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) • In the cold and hot wash process in plastic recycling
