DOW XIAMETER AFE-0050 is a 50% active silicone defoamer concentrate developed for high-shear textile processes. It presents as a milky-white liquid (viscosity 2,500-2,800 cSt) and retains stable performance under pH 1-14 and ≤120°C conditions, breaking down micron-level foam within 5 minutes (with over 8 hours of suppression). Certified by ISO 9001, its optimized dispersion efficiency cuts mineral oil defoamer usage by 30% in jet dyeing and fabric sizing applications.
Extreme Process Adaptability: Works in pH 1-14 systems, including high-temperature dyeing processes (80-120°C), fitting diverse textile production needs.
Strong Shear Resistance: Maintains over 98% activity even under 5,000 rpm mechanical stress, ensuring effectiveness in high-shear textile operations.
Cost-Saving Performance: Takes effect at a dosage of 25-50 ppm, reducing costs by 20% compared to conventional defoaming products.
Eco-Friendly Compliance: Free of APEO, and meets the requirements of REACH and GB 9685-2016 standards, aligning with environmental protection regulations.
Extended Shelf Life: Offers 540 days of stability when stored in original sealed containers, facilitating long-term inventory management.
Textile Dyeing: Controls foam in jet dyeing machines, with a recommended dosage of 0.01%-0.05% to ensure smooth dyeing and consistent color results.
Industrial Cleaning: Enhances degreasing efficiency in alkaline cleaners, improving the removal of tough oil stains from industrial parts.
Wastewater Treatment: Optimizes membrane filtration in high-COD effluents, boosting the efficiency of wastewater purification and reducing membrane clogging.
Fabric Sizing: Reduces fiber loss during textile sizing processes, lowering raw material waste and improving the quality of sized fabrics.
