Name: Dow DOWSIL 56 Defoamer
Brand: Guangzhou Eric Wei Chemical Co., Ltd.

Features Of Dow DOWSIL 56 Defoamer

Highly effective silicone-based defoamer for rapid foam knockdown and long-term foam suppression.
Excellent compatibility with water-based systems, including acrylics, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene emulsions.
Low dosage requirement—effective at 0.05–0.3 wt% in most formulations—minimizing impact on final product properties.
Thermally stable up to 120 °C, supporting high-temperature processing conditions without degradation.
Non-yellowing and non-staining, preserving clarity and color integrity in sensitive coatings and adhesives.
