Advanced Silicone Antifoam Emulsion for Chemicals America
Discover our silicone antifoam solutions tailored for Chemicals America industries
How can we help you optimizing your processing ?
Silicone technology is the highest performant solution in the market for foam control. Foam control is a key issue for manufacturers in many industries. They demand high-performance ingredients to make antifoam and de-foaming formulations that enhance their processes and are safe for people and the environment.
At Elkem Silicones, we constantly invest in development and innovation so that our Silcolapse™ foam control ingredients remain effective, cost efficient and customized to your industry needs:
Customer adapted easy-to-use antifoam solutions
DURABLE EFFICIENCY
Elkem Silicones full line of Silcolapse™ foam control formulation ingredients and processing aids make manufacturing more efficient and cleaner, improve the quality of final products, reduce waste and energy consumption and facilitate recycling. They are safe for people and equipment and comply with the strictest standards. The inherent properties of silicones brought by their chemical structure makes them non-toxic and chemically inert. This easy to use solution provide durable efficiency to enhance your process reliability and reduce your maintenance costs using much smaller doses than organic antifoaming solutions. Benefits of Silcolapse™ foam control agents include:
Silicone antifoam in action
- Durable foam control at all stages of the manufacturing process
- High efficiency at very low dosage
- Enhanced process reliability for the operations
- Easy to handle due to excellent dispersion in aqueous media
- Easy to use in a broad variety of industrial media and over a wide range of pH
- Environmentally-friendly with very low CODLong storage stability
STATE OF THE ART FACILITIES
Your silicones products will be produced in new state of the art facilities that will ensure quality, capacity, while meeting the most stringent regulations. Additional lab facilities, capacities, local sourcing and full control in vertical integration will shorten lead times to serve you and your organization.
WORKING CLOSELY TO YOUR SUCCESS
We are investing having our customers current and future requirements in mind, our reinforced teams will be there to support you and your success over the long term. Our experts are always available to advise you upstream and make sure that our foam control ingredients do exactly what's needed in your specific manufacturing processes.
