DOW XIAMETER AFE-1410 is a 10% active silicone defoamer emulsion designed for harsh industrial settings. It appears as a milky-white liquid (viscosity 3,500 cP) and maintains stable performance under pH 1-14 and ≤80°C conditions, breaking down micron-level foam within minutes (with over 6 hours of suppression). Certified by ISO 9001 and REACH, its optimized dispersion efficiency cuts mineral oil defoamer usage by 40% in agrochemical and textile processing systems.
Extreme pH Adaptability: Functions efficiently across the full pH spectrum (1-14), making it suitable for demanding scenarios like metal cleaning (acidic environments) and alkaline black liquor treatment in papermaking, without compromising performance.
Rapid Dispersion: Self-emulsifies in cold water within 3 minutes, enabling seamless integration with automated dosing systems. This reduces manual operation time and ensures consistent defoamer distribution in industrial workflows.
Long-Term Dilution Stability: Diluted solutions retain activity for over 7 days when combined with 0.1%-0.3% inhibitors. This extends the usable life of prepared solutions, minimizing waste and simplifying on-site inventory management.
Agrochemicals: Controls foam in pesticide sprays, preventing uneven spray coverage and ensuring consistent active ingredient delivery. Recommended dosage: 0.005%-0.03%.
Resin Production: Enhances product uniformity during epoxy synthesis by suppressing foam formation. This reduces voids and defects in the final resin, improving mechanical performance and product quality.
Textile Processing: Eliminates foam-induced dyeing defects (e.g., uneven color, streaks) in pH 6-9 systems (common in fabric dyeing and finishing). It ensures consistent dye absorption and maintains fabric appearance.
