Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Benefits
- Due to the special selection of active ingredients TEGO® Antifoam KS 95 outperforms conventional organic antifoams in many respects (dispersibility, efficiency).
- Furthermore undesirable effects associated with other organic antifoams can be reduced or even eliminated (e. g. fogging of PVC).

- Application
TEGO® Antifoam KS 95 destroys foam or prevents foam formation reliably in aqueous media and may be used for foam control in a variety of industrial applications:
- as a processing aid for the water based polymerization of thermoplastics and elastomers (e. g. in the demonomerization).
- in the stripping of PVC latex in emulsion, suspension and micro-suspension polymerization.
- in the processing and application of polymer dispersions/latices.
- as an environmental-friendly antifoam for waste water treatment.
- in a multitude of other industrial applications (TEGO® Antifoam KS 95 should not be used in strong alkaline media, i. e. pH > 10).
