Features Of Dow DOWSIL SM 5511 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 efficiency—effective at 0.05–0.3 wt% in most formulations—minimizing impact on final product properties.

  4. Thermally stable up to 150 °C, supporting high-temperature processing conditions without degradation.

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

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL SM 5511 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

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

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

  4. Textile and leather finishing auxiliaries requiring foam control during padding and coating processes.

  5. Water-based inks and overprint varnishes for flexographic and gravure printing.
