For product formulators and R&D scientists in the chemical industry, understanding the precise technical specifications and optimal usage of additives is paramount to achieving desired product performance. Silicone antifoam compounds are critical in preventing foam-related issues across diverse applications, from industrial coatings and adhesives to polyurethane systems. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals, we provide detailed technical insights into our silicone antifoam offerings, empowering formulators to make informed purchasing decisions.

Our flagship silicone antifoam compound is characterized by its off-white viscous liquid appearance, a testament to its carefully controlled composition. Primarily formulated from polydimethylsiloxane and fumed silica, this compound boasts 100% active content and is classified as non-ionic. This composition ensures broad compatibility with various chemical systems and excellent efficacy even at very low concentrations, typically ranging from 0.1% to 1% of the total formulation mass, depending on the application's foaming intensity.

The physical and chemical properties of our silicone antifoam are meticulously detailed in our product data sheets. Key parameters such as viscosity (e.g., 1000-5000 mm²/s at 25°C) and shelf life (typically 12 months) are critical for formulators when integrating the product into their manufacturing processes and supply chain planning. The non-ionic nature is particularly advantageous, as it minimizes the risk of unwanted interactions with charged species within the formulation, ensuring predictable performance.

When it comes to application, our silicone antifoam can be added either after foam has generated or as a proactive foam inhibitor within the system. For optimal dispersion and performance, it is recommended to ensure thorough mixing. Formulators should always conduct compatibility tests for their specific systems, especially in varnish applications where transparency might be a concern. As a responsible supplier, we strongly advise users to consult our safety data sheets (SDS) and technical data sheets (TDS) for detailed handling, storage, and application guidelines.

For procurement managers, understanding these technical specifications is crucial for cost-effective sourcing. The high efficiency of our silicone antifoam means that lower dosages are required, leading to reduced material costs per batch. Furthermore, our commitment as a manufacturer to consistent quality ensures that each batch you purchase will deliver the same reliable performance, minimizing batch-to-batch variations and production issues. We make it easy to request quotes and samples, allowing you to evaluate our products directly against your formulation requirements.

We are proud to support industries such as polyurethane manufacturing, epoxy systems, acrylic formulations, asphalt applications, and oil drilling with our superior foam control solutions. By providing precise technical data and expert guidance, we help formulators overcome challenges related to foam, thereby enhancing product quality and process efficiency.
