Dow 71 Defoamer

Dow 71 Defoamer is a silicone-based antifoam agent from Dow’s ELASTOSIL® Defoamer series. Designed for demanding industrial processes, it rapidly breaks foam and suppresses re-foaming in aqueous systems. Ideal for coatings, adhesives, and cleaning formulations, it offers excellent compatibility, low dosage efficiency, and stable performance across wide pH and temperature ranges.

Features Of Dow 71 Defoamer

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

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based systems, including acrylics, vinyl acetate copolymers, and styrene-butadiene emulsions.

  3. Low dosage efficiency — typically effective at 0.05–0.3 wt% active in final formulations.

  4. Thermally stable up to 120°C, supporting high-temperature processing conditions.

  5. Non-yellowing and non-staining, preserving clarity and color integrity in sensitive coatings and adhesives.

Typical Applications Of Dow 71 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

  2. Adhesives and sealants, especially pressure-sensitive and latex-based formulations.

  3. Textile and leather finishing auxiliaries.

  4. Construction chemicals, including cementitious grouts and tile adhesives.

  5. Water treatment systems requiring controlled foaming during dosing or mixing.
