- Benefits & Advantages
- Excellent long-term efficiency, combined with maximum compatibility with most polymer dispersions.
- No silicone related side effects, e. g. fish eyes, surface defects, de-wetting etc.
- This results in a unique product profile which cannot be achieved either with organic or with traditional silicone oil based antifoams
Applications & Uses

- Adhesive & Sealant Type
- Use Level
- 0.05 - 0.5 wt.%, 0.1 wt.% (Initial Dosage)
- Applications
TEGO® Antifoam 204 provides reliable foam control in aqueous media and may therefore be used for foam control in a variety of industrial applications:
- in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices.
- in a multitude of other industrial applications where the use of traditional silicone oil based antifoams is restricted for certain reasons.
- Dosage
- A pre-dilution of TEGO® Antifoam 204 can be beneficial depending on the application in question.
- The ration should be between 1 : 1 to 1 : 10.
- Depending on the application the required dosage may vary over a wide range (0.05 to 0.5 %); suitable screening tests are therefore recommended (initial dosage: 0.1 %).
- Dilution of TEGO® Antifoam 204 may be prepared by adding the desired amount of water to TEGO® Antifoam 204 while stirring gently at low shear rates.
- 1 : 1 dilutions prepared as described above are stable for several days; 1 : 10 dilutions should be processed within several hours.
