Dow STS Defoamer

Dow STS Defoamer is a high-performance silicone-based antifoam agent from Dow’s STS series, engineered for rapid foam suppression and long-lasting defoaming in demanding industrial processes like coatings, adhesives, and chemical manufacturing. It offers excellent compatibility, low dosage efficiency, and stability across wide pH and temperature ranges.

Features Of Dow STS Defoamer

  1. Highly effective silicone-based defoaming agent with rapid knock-down and lasting foam suppression.

  2. Excellent compatibility across a wide pH range (pH 4–12) and in both anionic and nonionic surfactant systems.

  3. Low dosage efficiency—typically effective at 0.01–0.1% w/w in demanding industrial formulations.

  4. Thermally stable up to 120°C, maintaining performance under elevated process temperatures.

  5. Non-volatile and non-silicone-oil bleed formulation, minimizing residue and surface defects in end products.

Typical Applications Of Dow STS Defoamer

  1. Water-based architectural coatings and industrial paints.

  2. Industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations, including alkaline detergents.

  3. Paper and board coating slurries during wet-end and coating operations.

  4. Agrochemical adjuvant systems for herbicidal and fungicidal spray solutions.

  5. Textile dyeing and finishing auxiliaries where foam interferes with uniform processing.
