TEGO® Antifoam 2450

Typical Applications

  • As process aid in the water-based polymerization and stripping of SBR/NBR rubber materials
  • As process aid in the water – based polymerization and stripping of SBR/NBR latices, Acrylics and E-PVC
  • For the defoaming of SBR & acrylate emulsions as used in adhesives and paper coatings
  • As dewebbing aid for latex dipping applications

Benefits at a glance

Unlike conventional defoamers, TEGO® Antifoam 2450 was specifically developed to avoid pre-mature coagulation during stripping in SB rubber production. This allows for less cleaning of the reaction vessel and the demonomerization column while TEGO® Antifoam 2450 does not hinder the coagulation stage. Tests with the customer specific emulsions are recommended.
TEGO® Antifoam 2450 contains no silicone, that might cause surface issues during glove production or on substrate if used for adhesive applications.
