It is a nonionic silicone emulsion defoaming agent designed for efficient foam control in water-based industrial systems. It features rapid defoaming action, excellent dispersion, and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for applications such as wastewater treatment, chemical processing, paints, coatings, and printing. With a milky white appearance and low viscosity, KM-73 is easy to handle and compatible with a wide range of formulations. Its stability under dilution and mechanical shear ensures consistent results, while its low surface tension enables fast foam collapse even under demanding conditions.

• Low surface tension - Quickly breaks foam by disrupting bubble stability, making it highly effective even in small amounts

• Long-lasting foam inhibition - Maintains defoaming performance over extended periods, reducing the need for repeated dosing.

• Heat and chemical resistance - Performs reliably under high temperatures and strong alkaline conditions, ideal for industrial cleaning and pulp processing.

• Excellent internal addition stability - Remains stable when blended into formulations like coatings, inks, or cutting fluids, without separating or degrading.

• Fast-acting and persistent - Offers both immediate defoaming and sustained suppression, suitable for high-foam systems and continuous operations.

• Printing and Ink Industry – Acts as a defoamer to eliminate foam during ink formulation and printing, improving clarity and consistency

• Paints and Coatings – Controls foam in waterborne and solvent-based systems, enhancing surface smoothness and reducing defects

• Industrial Cleaning Agents – Suppresses foam in alkaline and surfactant-rich cleaning formulations for better rinsing and efficiency

• Water Treatment – Used to reduce foam in wastewater and process water systems, improving operational stability

• Chemical Processing – Provides foam control in various chemical reactions and formulations, ensuring smooth processing
