Products in Carpet & Upholstery: Anti-Foaming Agent

XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt is a high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane polymer manufactured to yield essentially linear polymers in a wide range of viscosities. The viscosities generally used in formulating polishes are in the range of 100 to 30,000 cSt. It is preferable to use a blend of a low-viscosity fluid and a high-viscosity fluid (e.g. 3 parts XIAMETER(TM) PMX- 200 Silicone Fluid 100 cSt and 1 part XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 12,500 cSt) to obtain optimum results in terms of ease of application and depth of gloss. The low-viscosity silicone fluid acts as a lubricant to make polish application and rubout easier, whereas the high-viscosity silicone fluid produces a greater depth of gloss. Since these polymers are inherently water-repellent, they will cause water to bead up on a treated surface rather than penetrate the polish film.

SILFOAM® SRE is a versatile antifoam that contains 20% active ingredients and 33% solids. It is relatively rich in emulsifier but has a low viscosity, making it easy to measure accurately. SILFOAM® SRE also demonstrates high resistance to alkalis and acids, allowing for its application in a wide range of pH-sensitive scenarios.

Cola®Cap MA139 is a 100% active, low-foaming surfactant that provides excellent product color and chemical stability over a wide pH range. Cola®Cap MA139 offers optimization of detergency, wetting and food soil defoaming characteristics. Cola®Cap MA139 incorporates a capping group that provides unique functionality, greater biodegradability and does not interfere with wetting, detergency or surface activity. It is also structurally sufficient to provide good food soil defoaming properties. Cola®Cap MA139 develops low foaming properties without the use of propylene oxide capping that potentially could inhibit biodegradation.

Zinador™ 22L is a 100% bio-based odor neutralizer that has been proven to effectively combat a wide range of household and industrial odors. Independent testing conducted by trained panelists has demonstrated its effectiveness in eliminating common malodors. With no need for emulsifiers or chelators in formulation, Zinador 22L is cost-effective and easy to use. It is developed and produced using Itaconix polymer technology.

AMSil™-F H22 is a hydrophobic silica, fumed and precipitated silicas are used in a wide range of applications

Burco® LAF-180 is a linear alcohol alkoxylate low foam nonionic surfactant that provides excellent rinsability and has good wetting. It exhibits strong defoaming properties in the presence of protienaceous soils.
