DOW XIAMETER ACP-3183 is a 100% active silicone defoamer tailored for the most demanding pH and high-shear conditions. Presented as a gray - white liquid with a viscosity of 2,800 cSt, it performs consistently across a vast pH spectrum of 1 - 14 and temperatures up to 100°C. It can break down micron - sized foam within a mere 30 seconds and sustain foam suppression for over 6 hours. Certified under FDA 21 CFR 175.300, it significantly cuts down the use of mineral oil defoamers by 25% in solvent cleaning and metalworking operations.
Exceptional pH Tolerance: It functions seamlessly in pH 1 - 14 systems, making it ideal for electroplating waste treatment where extreme pH levels are common.
Swift Defoaming Action: Nano silicone particles in ACP - 3183 reduce the surface tension to an impressively low 23.3 dyn/cm in a 0.5% solution, enabling rapid foam collapse.
Broad Solvent Compatibility: The defoamer remains stable in ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons, ensuring its effectiveness in various solvent - based processes.
Environmentally Safe: Being APEO - free and compliant with REACH and GB 9685 - 2016 standards, it poses minimal risk to the environment.
Industrial Cleaning: In solvent degreasers, it controls foam efficiently with a dosage of 0.005% - 0.05%, ensuring smooth and effective cleaning processes.
Metalworking Fluids: For CNC machining fluids, it reduces foam, enhancing the performance and lifespan of the fluids, and improving the machining quality.
Wastewater Treatment: In high - COD effluent systems, it suppresses foam, facilitating better treatment processes and reducing potential operational issues.
Chemical Processing: During epoxy resin synthesis, it manages foam, helping to produce high - quality epoxy resins with fewer defects.
