Benefits

TEGO® Antifoam KE 600 outperforms conventional organic antifoams in many respects, in particular regarding dispersibility and dilution stability. Furthermore undesirable effects associated with other organic or silicone antifoams (e. g. fogging of PVC, surface defects of coated and uncoated paper) can be very much reduced or even eliminated.

Application

TEGO® Antifoam KE 600 destroys foam or prevents foam formation reliably in aqueous media and may therefore be used in a variety of industrial applications:

  • in emulsion, suspension and micro suspension polymerization of PVC throughout all process steps, especially for S-PVC production.
  • in the production of paper and paperboard.
  • in process and waste water applications.
  • in a multitude of other industrial applications especially if high pH stability is requested.
