Products in Foam Control: Surfactant

XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 5 cSt is a polydimethylsiloxane fluid. It is commonly used as a base fluid in personal care products due to its excellent spreading characteristics. This product is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, and non-greasy. Being a commercial bulk-polymerized dimethyl silicone fluid, it typically contains trace amounts of impurities.

Hydropalat® WE 3220 is a silicone surfactant that improves substrate wetting in aqueous systems. It exhibits excellent wetting properties in aqueous industrial, wood, automotive, and exterior paints and coatings, with a strong reduction of surface tension and no increase in surface slip. It has a minor impact on inter-coat adhesion and recoatability, and it is solvent-free.

WACKER® FC 382 is a polyalkylene oxide-modified polydimethylsiloxane that offers a unique combination of uses not achievable with traditional organic surfactants. It can be used in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. This product is a multi-functional polydimethylsiloxane, where organo-functional groups are attached to the polydimethylsiloxane through chemically inert alkylene spacer groups, ensuring stability against hydrolysis.

AFCONA 3773 is a leveling and surface tension reduction agent for non-aqueous industrial coatings. It is an acrylic-modified fluorocarbon designed to provide anti-crater, substrate wetting, and leveling performance. Compared to AFCONA 3777, AFCONA 3773 has better compatibility and leveling performance. It offers a well-balanced combination of defoaming and leveling performance, making it an ideal choice for use as a universal leveling agent.

TRIEST PGDO-4011, is a diester formed by the reaction of polyethylene glycol with oleic acid, a biobased fatty acid, with low toxicity, biodegradable and non-ionic surfactant properties. it has applications in many areas like paper and plastic industry, ink and paint industry, adhesives, coatings.

PEL-SIL™ CL360 is a organo-modified silicone-based additive consisting of a siloxane backbone and polyethylene-oxide (EO) and polypropylene oxide (PO) side chains. It has pendant molecular structure. PEL-SIL™ CL360 is an excellent flow and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings and inks. It can also be used as defoamer or anti-foaming agent for waterborne coatings systems. It can be used at low dosage levels. For polyurethane foam coatings, PEL-SIL™ CL360 acts a surfactant and foam cell stabilizer. It is not compatible on the isocyanate side and must be added with the polyol. It exhibits excellent compatibility with most polyol premixes.
