Features Of Dow DOWSIL FS 013A Defoamer

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

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based systems, including acrylic, vinyl acetate, 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, maintaining performance during high-shear mixing and elevated processing temperatures.

  5. Non-yellowing and non-staining, supporting clarity and color fidelity in sensitive coatings and adhesives.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL FS 013A Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

  2. Adhesives and sealants, particularly latex and polymer dispersion-based formulations.

  3. Construction chemicals, including cementitious mortars and tile adhesives.

  4. Textile auxiliaries such as dye baths and finishing agents.

  5. Water treatment systems requiring controlled foam management in process streams.
