Athon FB 500 Antifoam is a compound based on organofunctional silicone fluids that exhibit high compatibility with organic systems.
Athon FB 500 Antifoam is a self-dispersing product, with the ability to spontaneously form a fine dispersion when added to water.
Athon FB 500 Antifoam is recommended for all organic systems that require a highly compatible antifoaming agent. Thus, it is ideal for applications where silicones would normally cause problems, such as water miscible adhesives and cooling lubricants.
It is particularly recommended for systems with a high surfactant content or involving high shear forces, such as the incorporation of pigments into dispersions. In these systems, purely organic defoamers rapidly become ineffective.
Athon FB 500 Antifoam also serves as an antifoam agent for suspensions rich in fine and strongly foaming particles and in the production of redispersible powders.
