StarSil™ AC 1083
Product Description
StarSil™ AC 1083 is a new highly efficient silicone-antifoam compound. StarSil™ AC 1083 is a nonaqueous solvent-free 100% silicone base with improved long-term foam control efficiency. It was specially developed for use in a wide range of industrial applications ranging from pulp processing, textile dyeing, and wastewater treatment. StarSil™ AC 1083 has significant foam knockdown and excellent sustaining antifoam performance.
Product Attributes
- Free rinsing (when emulsified efficiently)
- Long-lasting defoaming & antifoaming properties
- Nonionic
Product Applications
StarSil™ AC 1083 acts primarily as an antifoam base for formulated defoamers and antifoams that can be added at various stages during pulp manufacturing. When emulsified StarSil™ AC 1083 rinses clean and does not have the detrimental effect of silicone deposits and residues.
