Defoamer / Anti-foam
agents
NOFOAM™ 1976™
NOFOAM™ 1976™ is a versatile defoamer / antifoam
agent useful in a wide variety of industrial applications.
It is stable in conditions of extreme pH (<1 - 14)
and temperatures > 350 °F and thus finds use
in such diverse applications as phosphoric acid production,
caustic digestion of aluminum ores, and jet dyeing.
NOFOAM™ 1976™ combines the best properties
of organosilicone and organic based foam control agents.
NOFOAM™ 1976™ is a silicone free dispersion
of surface modified inorganic silica in mineral oil.
Coatings using NOFOAM™ 1976™ are not subject
to pinholes or recoating problems that sometimes occurs
with silicone based foam control agents. NOFOAM™
1976™ also resists hydrolysis in strong alkali,
which occurs with some silicone based foam control agents.
NOFOAM™ 1976™ has also been successful when
used in adhesives, detergents, effluent treatment, emulsion
polymerization, gas treating, ink, mining, paints, paper
coatings, processing and pulping, and textile processes.
