Silibase Silicone Produce Anti Foaming Performance Comparable to SILCOLAPSE 801 U1 Defoamer

Dec 17, 2024

Product Name: Defoamer
Item No.: SilibaseDFA-4208

General Description
Substitute for SILCOLAPSE 801 U1 defoamer.SilibaseDFA-4208 is an anti foaming and defoaming agent suitable for high solid, high film thickness epoxy floor coatings, silk screen inks, UV curing paint inks. It is a 100% active high viscosity foam control compound. SilibaseDFA-4208 is part of family of high performance foam control agent specially designed to control foam in aggressive foaming media.

Product Data
Chemical composition:
Polysiloxane compounds containing hydrophobic particles.
The data provided on this data page are only typical numerical values and not technical indicators of the product.
Appearance Translucent liquid
Viscosity cps (25℃) :6000-60000
Density g/cm (23℃): 0.90-1.10
Active ingredient:  100%

Key Benefits 
Excellent defoaming efficiency with long lasting foam control performance.
High efficiency in alkaline conditions and at high temperature.
Low dose efficiency, at around 1 to 100 mg per kg of system to be defoamed.
Pulp washing efficiency and pulp quality are improved.
Excellent pulp drainage.

Application Guidelines
Excellent foam inhibitor Offset of SILCOLAPSE 801 U1 defoamer.
Industrial coatings
Features and advantages:
SilibaseDFA-4208 is an excellent foam inhibitor and defoamer. It has a good effect on suppressing and eliminating bubbles generated by high solid and solvent-free epoxy floor coatings during manufacturing and construction, and has a good effect on suppressing bubbles of high viscosity and high film thickness, especially solvent-free epoxy floor coatings with high film thickness.

Special Notes
The complete effect of defoamer can only be obtained 24 hours after the system is put into operation.

Examples of Applications
SilibaseDFA-4208 is used as is or formulated into emulsions which can be used in control foam in high and aggressive foaming media such as:
Pulp industry: Recommended for use in the various processing steps (cooking, washing, screening, bleaching and sewage treatment).
Detergency: Liquids and powdered detergent, soap.
Chemicals: Distillation, extraction, filtration.
It can be used in emulsion form or as a booster to silicon and/or organic components.

Application Sectors
Analogue for SILCOLAPSE 801 U1 defoamer with long lasting foam control performance.
Epoxy floor coating, screen ink, UV ink.

Recommended Levels
The dosage of 0.01-1.0% additives (purchase form) is based on the total formula.
The above data are empirical dosage, and the optimal dosage needs to be determined through a series of tests.

Incorporation and Processing Instructions
In order to obtain the best performance, the anti foaming effect is the best when added before grinding or mixing. It can also be added afterwards, but it must be stirred evenly.

Packaging
—25kg coated iron drum
—180kg ring plastic drum

Storage and Transport
Chinese Factory Produce an Excellent Foam Inhibitor Similar to SILCOLAPSE 801 U1.Stratification may occur at temperatures below 5℃, heat to 20℃ and mix well before use.The storage time is not recommended to exceed 12 months.
