Features Of Dow AFE-1247 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, and styrene-butadiene emulsions.

  3. Low dosage requirement—effective at 0.05–0.3 wt% in most formulations—minimizing impact on final product properties.

  4. Thermally stable up to 120 °C, supporting high-temperature processing conditions without degradation.

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

Typical Applications Of Dow AFE-1247 Defoamer

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

  2. Adhesives and sealants, particularly pressure-sensitive and construction-grade formulations.

  3. Textile and leather finishing auxiliaries, including dye baths and softener systems.

  4. Water-based inks for flexographic and gravure printing processes.

  5. Construction chemicals such as cementitious grouts, tile adhesives, and self-leveling underlayments.
