Dow 163 Defoamer

Dow 163 Defoamer is a silicone-based antifoam agent from Dow’s ELASTOSIL® Defoamer series. Designed for demanding industrial applications, it rapidly breaks foam and prevents re-foaming in water-based systems like coatings, adhesives, and cleaning formulations. Its low-usage efficiency, excellent compatibility, and stable performance under shear make it ideal for high-speed manufacturing processes.

Features Of Dow 163 Defoamer

  1. Highly effective silicone-based defoamer for rapid foam knockdown and long-term foam suppression.

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based systems including latexes, emulsions, and aqueous coatings.

  3. Low dosage requirement—effective at concentrations as low as 0.05–0.3% w/w in most formulations.

  4. Thermally stable up to 120°C, supporting use in hot-process industrial applications.

  5. Non-yellowing and non-staining, preserving clarity and color integrity in sensitive end products.

Typical Applications Of Dow 163 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

  2. Acrylic and styrene-butadiene (SBR) latex emulsions.

  3. Adhesives and sealants manufacturing processes.

  4. Textile printing pastes and pigment dispersions.

  5. Construction chemicals including cementitious grouts and tile adhesives.
