Foam Control

Reduce costs with foam control and tension

Foam can cause big problems for both you and your customer, from reduced productivity and increased costs to damage to materials. Discover how you can work with Dow to manage foam in chemical processing with silicone and specialty surfactant foam control solutions:

Leverage lower surface tensions and stability  

 

Across a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, less reactivity, longer-lasting properties, and effectiveness at much lower dosages.

Increase performance in industrial processes  

 

Like plastic recycling, waste and water treatment, metalworking fluids, industrial cleaning, and others.

Lower use levels, increase productivity, reduce production costs and save money

 

With DOWSIL™ and XIAMETER™ Silicone foam control agents for chemical processing across various applications like stripping, scrubbing, polymerization and other industrial processes.
