Agrochemicals are produced and formulated under controlled and extreme operating conditions. The parameters like pH, temperature, pressure and reaction time are very crucial for the final quality. The extreme operating conditions generate excess foam causing the processing vessels to overflow. Overflowing of vessels results in loss of capacity, production efficiency, processing time and companies may have to invest in larger, more expensive equipment to handle the foam.
DOWSIL™ and XIAMETER™ Silicone Foam Control Agents enable manufacturers to increase productivity and decrease production costs. They have low surface tension for effective foam control in a variety of foaming media and act as both antifoams and defoamers.
These are efficient and long-lasting foam control agents suitable for use in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Dow’s antifoams are available in wide options such as fluids, compounds, emulsions, and powder.
