About DOWSIL™ 108F Additive

DOWSIL™ 108F Additive is a highly efficient defoaming agent for waterborne systems. The siloxane-based emulsion is designed to deliver an optimized balance of foam control and compatibility in a wide variety of waterborne coatings and inks. Plus, its diluted delivery form makes it very easy to dose and use.

While DOWSIL™ 108F Additive can deliver excellent results in a wide variety of waterborne paint and ink systems, it is specifically designed for use in premium gloss applications, such as wood coatings, industrial coatings and inks, where its low tendency to cause craters or other surface defects is especially valuable.

In addition, the APEO-free and low-VOC nature of DOWSIL™ 108F Additive is of clear relevance to specific end users.
