SILFOAM® SE 2262
SILFOAM® SE 2262 is a low to medium viscous, water-dispersible antifoam emulsion that is based on an organomodified polysiloxane.
Properties
SILFOAM® SE 2262 exhibits excellent defoaming and deaeration performance and shows outstanding compatibility across a broad range of water‑based systems.
It is used in applications where silicones are typically considered critical, such as:
- PVC polymerization, degassing & stripping
- Manufacture and processing of polymer dispersions for textiles, paper, paints and surface coatings as well as adhesives
- Cooling lubricants
- Textile formulations

Application details
The typical dosage is in the range of 0.05 to 1.0 % and is best determined by preliminary tests.
SILFOAM® SE 2262 can be dosed undiluted, as it is already sufficiently dispersed by its emulsion form.
If the use of SILFOAM® SE 2262 should be necessary in diluted form, we recommend preparing dilutions by stirring SILFOAM® SE 2262 gently into cold water. Dilute solutions should be used up quickly as the more dilute they are, the sooner they tend to separate. A 1:1 aqueous dilution remains stable for several days.
