Features Of Dow DOWSIL DC65 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 formulations.

  4. Stable under high-shear mixing and elevated temperatures up to 90°C during processing.

  5. Non-yellowing and does not adversely affect film clarity or gloss in finished coatings.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL DC65 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

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

  3. Printing inks, including flexographic and gravure inks for paper and flexible packaging.

  4. Textile auxiliaries such as dyeing and finishing baths.

  5. Construction chemicals including cementitious tile adhesives and self-leveling underlayments.
