Brands in Foam Control Agents

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

NatraSense™ is a 100% bio-based additive that reduces the foaming of high foam surfactants and provides a rinse aid action in auto dishwashing. It gives a reduction in the contact angle of water on a series of common kitchen surfaces including glass, ceramic, stainless steel, and plastic, which ultimately results in better wetting of the surface and faster drying.

STEPANOL® offers a range of features and benefits, including cleansing, compatibility, creamy texture, dense foam, and effective detergency. It is easy to handle, enhances foam, and has good electrolyte tolerance and wetting properties. STEPANOL® provides high foaming, high purity, and viscosity boosting, with options for low viscosity and mild formulations. It also creates a pearlescent effect and excels in solubilizing. STEPANOL® meets bio-based, credo clean Standard, kosher, natural, and sustainable labeling claims. Ideal for beauty and care, home care, institutional and industrial care, leather and textiles, personal hygiene, pest control, and processing and packaging applications, STEPANOL® ensures high performance and versatility.

BIO-TERGE® is an anionic surfactant providing excellent viscosity, foam characteristics and mildness. It is an ideal surfactant for a variety of HI&I cleaning and personal care applications, agricultural formulations, and construction products used for concrete bases, firefighting foams and dust control.

Phytofoam™ is a vegetable complex of three plants with traditional cleansing uses and demonstrates foam-boosting abilities while maintaining good detergency properties. It also maintains the stability of the foam, the foam is creamier and denser. Phytofoam™ is recommended for fabric care formulations, as well as automatic and hand dishwash.

Crodateric™ is a mild surfactant with gentle cleansing properties. It acts as a foam booster/stabilizer.

Syncrowax™ is the triglyceride ester of long-chain (C18-36) fatty acids. It is a highly crystalline wax and confers a high degree of rigidity to formulations. Syncrowax™ has similar properties to Carnauba wax and so can provide an excellent glossy finish in wax and polish formulations.

Burcotrope™ 1250 is a hydrotrope for neutral and alkaline formulations that effectively elevates cloud points in built and surfactant formulations. Typical applications include hard surface cleaners, built liquid laundry detergents, automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse aids, and hypochlorite containing detergents and sanitizers.

DIVERSACLEAN™ is a readily biodegradable blend of non-ionic and cationic surfactants designed to deliver grease removal from water-based surfactant systems, especially for industrial and institutional (I&I) applications.

Defoamer NO. 21 is a non-ionic surfactant package that minimizes air void content for controllable process.

Flexible foam (Slab/Mold), Semirigid foam, Rigid foam

ECO Brij™ is a 100% bio-based ethoxylated natural fatty alcohol, based on stearyl alcohol chemistry. ECO Brij™ is RSPO certified. This naturally derived surfactant offers a number of functional benefits including wetting and high foaming to a variety of applications.

Mona™ is a highly effective thickening agent, capable of providing viscosity build in both mineral and organic acids. In addition to thickening, Mona™ is high foaming and contributes to detergency, and also offers corrosion inhibition.

Brij™ is an ethoxylated natural fatty alcohol, based on oleyl alcohol chemistry. This naturally derived surfactant offers a number of functional benefits including wetting and high foaming to a variety of applications.

Crodasinic™ is a range of biodegradable anionic surfactants consisting of acyl sarcosines and their sodium salts, sarcosinates. Produced from natural fatty acids and the amino acid derivative, sarcosine, the Crodasinic™ offers a number of functional benefits in a wide variety of personal care, home care and I&I applications.

MASPHATE® products are anionic surfactants, based on natural fatty alcohol and natural fatty alcohol ethoxylates. Our anionic MASPHATE® range is widely used as emulsifier, emollients, foaming and wetting agents.
