DOW XIAMETER AFE-0400 is a 10% active silicone defoamer emulsion tailored for textile processing and industrial cleaning applications. It presents as a white flowable liquid (viscosity 500-2000 cPs) and maintains stable performance under pH 4-11 and ≤100°C conditions, breaking down micron-level foam within minutes (with foam suppression lasting over 8 hours). Certified by ISO 9001, its optimized dispersion efficiency reduces mineral oil defoamer consumption by 30% in dyeing and latex coating systems.
Extreme Process Adaptability: Functions reliably in pH 4-11 systems, including high-temperature bleaching processes common in textile manufacturing, adapting to the demands of harsh industrial workflows.
Rapid Dispersion: Self-emulsifies in cold water within 3 minutes, ensuring seamless integration with automated dosing systems for efficient, labor-saving operation.
Broad Compatibility: Works harmoniously with dyes and surfactants, avoiding defects (e.g., pinholes, uneven coverage) in coating and dyeing processes to maintain product quality.
Eco-Friendly Compliance: Free of APEO (Alkylphenol Ethoxylates), and meets the requirements of REACH and GB 9685-2016 standards, aligning with global environmental protection regulations.
Cost-Saving Performance: Delivers effective defoaming at a dosage of 50-100 ppm, cutting overall operational costs by 20% compared to conventional defoamers.
Textile Dyeing: Controls foam in jet dyeing machines—critical for ensuring uniform dye absorption and consistent fabric color—with a recommended dosage of 0.005%-0.03%.
Latex Coating: Enhances the uniformity of water-based latex coating processes (e.g., on paper, textiles, or metal substrates), preventing foam-induced defects and improving coating smoothness.
Industrial Cleaning: Reduces foam in alkaline degreasers (suitable for pH 10-12 systems), boosting the efficiency of grease and grime removal from industrial equipment and parts.
