DOW DOWSIL FS 1197 is a high-performance siloxane defoamer for tough industrial settings, made with polysiloxane boosted by hydrophobic silica. It stays active at pH 2-12 and ≤150°C, has dynamic surface tension down to 22 dyn/cm, collapses micron foam fast (6+ hours suppression), meets FDA 21 CFR 176.210 (fit for food-grade inks). Blended with mineral oil defoamers, it cuts usage by 20% to boost coating and food processing efficiency.
Fast Foam Breakdown: Nano siloxane particles destroy foam in 3 minutes, perfect for high-shear coating dispersion.
Extreme Condition Resistance: Withstands pH 2-12, high salinity, and 150°C heat without performance degradation.
Extended Shelf Life: Remains stable for 360 days at -20°C to 50°C, staying homogeneous after dilution.
Eco-Friendly Certification: APEO-free, VOC <50g/L, and certified under EU REACH and China GB 24408.
Cost-Saving Performance: 0.1%-1% dosage reduces costs by 30% compared to traditional defoamers.
Industrial Coatings: Removes roller marks in water/solvent coatings, increasing gloss by 15% at 0.1%-0.5% dosage.
Food Processing: FDA-compliant for foam control in fermenters and cleaning lines, with a maximum 0.3g/kg dosage per GB 2760-2014.
Textile Dyeing: Manages foam in jet dyeing to lower the risk of fabric stains.
Petrochemicals: Curbs foam in crude oil separation, cutting energy consumption by 20%.
