Product Overview
500cst C16-C18 Long Chain Alkyl Silicone is specially designed modified silicone fluid for oil-phase defoamer formulation. Conventional dimethyl silicone oil is insoluble in mineral oil and easy to separate out, limiting its application in oil-based systems. With C16-C18 long alkyl side chains, this product realizes good compatibility with various mineral base oils. It rapidly breaks foam and inhibits new foam generation inside oil medium, keeping transparent appearance of finished oil formulations.
Key Features
- Viscosity: 500cst, C16-C18 long chain alkyl modified silicone, CAS 68554-54-1
- Excellent compatibility with mineral oil, white oil and hydrocarbon solvents
- Efficient defoaming and anti-foam performance in all kinds of oil phase systems
- Good dispersion, no precipitation and no turbidity in oil-based formulas
- Moderate thermal stability, adaptable for normal temperature and medium temperature oil fluid systems
- Easy compounding with other antifoam components for customized defoamer production
Main Applications
- Core raw material for mineral oil system industrial defoamer
- Defoaming additive for metal processing oil, lubricating oil and hydraulic oil
- Foam control agent for oil-based cleaning agents and hydrocarbon solvents
- Functional component for oil soluble antifoam used in petrochemical industry
Usage Guidance
Directly blended with mineral oil and other auxiliary components to produce finished defoamer. Usual dosage in final defoamer products: 5%–20%. Conduct compatibility and defoaming efficiency test with your formula first. Adjust addition amount according to actual foam condition. Small batch testing is required before mass production.
