Due to the special selection of active ingredients TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 outperforms conventionalorganic antifoams in many respects (compatibility, efficiency). Furthermore, undesirable effects associated with other organic antifoams can be reduced or even eliminated (e. g. fogging of PVC).
Applications & Uses

- Application
TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 destroys foam or prevents foam formation reliably in aqueous media and may be used for foam control in a variety of industrial applications:
- in the stripping of PVC latex in emulsion, suspension and micro-suspension polymerization.
- process aid for the water based polymerization of thermoplastics and elastomers (e. g. in the demonomerization).
- in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices*, e.g. adhesive formulation.
- in fermentation processes ▪ as an environmental-friendly antifoam for waste water treatment.
- in a multitude of other industrial applications (TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 should not be used in strong alkaline media, i. e. pH > 10) ▪ in the cold and hot wash process in plastic recycling.

Storage & Handling
- Handling and Shelf Life Condition
- When applying TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 from aqueous predispersions, dilution may proceed by adding TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 to water.
- In order to achieve a homogeneous distribution of the active material we recommend too stir the diluted antifoam gently in the storage tank, but avoid high shear forces as they destroy the emulsion.
- We recommend too stir TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 before use.
- TEGO® Antifoam KS 53 is stable in closed containers for a minimum of 12 months.
