Application

TEGO® Antifoam 4-88 provides reliable foam control during production and final formulation of polymer dispersions that are used for paper, adhesives and other application of polymer dispersions.

It may also be used in aqueous media (e. g. industrial and household cleaners) where the use of traditional silicone oil based antifoams is restricted for certain reasons. TEGO® Antifoam 4-88 is also recommended for PU dispersions.
