Dow DOWSIL FS 80 Defoamer

Dow DOWSIL FS 80 Defoamer is a silicone-based antifoam agent from Dow’s DOWSIL specialty silicones portfolio. Designed for water-based systems, it rapidly breaks foam and prevents re-foaming in coatings, adhesives, and industrial cleaning formulations. Its low-usage efficiency, excellent compatibility, and stable performance under shear make it ideal for high-speed manufacturing processes.

Features Of Dow DOWSIL FS 80 Defoamer

  1. Highly effective silicone-based defoamer for rapid foam knockdown and sustained foam control.

  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.

  5. Non-yellowing and non-silicone-residue-forming, preserving clarity and surface aesthetics in coatings and adhesives.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL FS 80 Defoamer

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

  2. Adhesives and sealants, particularly pressure-sensitive and water-based laminating adhesives.

  3. Textile and leather finishing formulations requiring low-foam application.

  4. Construction chemicals, including cementitious tile adhesives and grouts.

  5. Water-based inks and overprint varnishes for flexible packaging and label printing.
