Features Of Dow AFE-1226 Defoamer

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

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

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

  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 AFE-1226 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne coatings (e.g., interior/exterior paints, primers).

  2. Water-based adhesives and sealants, including PVA and SBR formulations.

  3. Textile printing pastes and pigment dispersions.

  4. Construction chemicals such as cementitious tile adhesives and self-leveling underlayments.

  5. Industrial cleaning solutions and metalworking fluid concentrates.
