TEGO® Antifoam 2080 is an antifoam based on organo-modified siloxanes for foam control in non-aqueous media.
Typical Applications
TEGO® Antifoam 2080 is an antifoam for use in mineral oil based non-water miscible lubricants such as neat metalworking fluids.
Benefits at a glance
- Due to its unique chemistry TEGO® Antifoam 2080 outperforms organic defoamers such as polyacrylates
- TEGO® Antifoam 2080 provides the same defoaming efficiency at a much higher deaeration rate of the base fluid compared to pure silicone oils
- TEGO® Antifoam 2080 combines the high compatibility of an organic antifoam with the high efficiency of pure silicone oil based antifoams
- TEGO® Antifoam 2080 provides long-lasting defoaming efficiency
- In contrast to pure silicone oils TEGO® Antifoam 2080 does not negatively affect the overpaintability of metal surfaces when used in metalworking fluids
- Compared to conventional siloxane-based antifoams TEGO® Antifoam 2080 allows for a strongly reduced treat rate due to its exceptional efficiency
- TEGO® Antifoam 2080 is soluble in a variety of aromatic and aliphatic solvents, e.g. diisononyl adipate (DINA)
