Application
  • TEGO® Antifoam 4-94 provides reliable foam control and excellent long-term efficiency especially in pressure sensitive adhesives based on acrylates.
  • It may also be used in aqueous media, as well as the processing and application of polymer dispersions, emulsions and a multitude of other industrial applications (e. g. industrial and household cleaners) where the use of traditional silicone oil based antifoams is restricted for certain reasons.
  • TEGO® Antifoam 4-94 is also recommended for PU dispersions.
  • Highly effective, general purpose antifoam for the washing process in plastic recycling.
