"Shimmering in the wind, soap bubbles" Beautiful bubbles can sometimes be a troublesome factor that reduces efficiency. Dow and Toray's "Silicone Defoamer" effectively suppresses such bubbles while being environmentally conscious. It enables an efficient manufacturing process without defects in subsequent processes. Due to its excellent heat and chemical resistance, it demonstrates outstanding defoaming effects even under harsh conditions with minimal addition, while also minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, it is chemically stable, allowing for use in a wide range of foaming systems.

- Solving the Foam Problem in Manufacturing - The purpose of using defoamers is to "eliminate foam," but the characteristics required of defoamers vary by industry. This document introduces recommended products for representative industries (metal processing, coatings, water treatment, papermaking, textiles, food) along with basic knowledge about defoamers and relevant data.

We have published a list of relevant technical documentation links for our market segments, which include "Functional Chemicals (chemical manufacturing and industrial applications, as well as films, tapes, and release liners)," "Electronics," "Construction, Building Materials, and Infrastructure," "Home Care, Industrial, and Commercial Cleaning Agents," "Cosmetics," and "Automotive and Transportation." Please take a look at the detailed data, such as property tables and lists of our products, from this documentation.

We would like to introduce various "silicone additives for resin modification" that we handle. "Silicone oil" can provide good filler dispersion, improved resin fluidity, and stress relaxation of the resin. It offers both non-reactive and reactive properties. In addition, we offer "silicone resin," which can reduce the flexural modulus of molded products after curing, and "silane coupling agents," which enhance the mechanical strength, long-term durability, and water resistance of materials. 【Features】 ■ Silicone oil: Has a thermally stable siloxane backbone and organic functional groups ■ Silicone powder: Provides excellent stress relaxation for EMC ■ Silicone resin: Reduces the flexural modulus of molded products after curing ■ Silane coupling agents: Improve the dispersion and adhesion of fillers through the use of silane *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Organic modified silicone oil" is a product that has a structure in which some of the methyl groups of dimethyl silicone oil are replaced with organic functional groups. We offer a rich lineup including "carbinol modification," "alkyl modification," and "polyether modification." You can choose according to your needs for applications such as paint additives (defoamers), paint leveling, and concrete water repellents. 【Partial lineup】 ■ Reactive silicone oils - Amino modified - Amino modified (special type) - Epoxy modified - Carboxyl modified - Carbinol modified *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The "Silicone Antifoam Agent" we handle enhances the compatibility of each component of polyurethane foam raw materials and reduces the surface tension of the system, enabling the creation of uniform and fine bubbles. We offer a rich lineup including "for soft slabs and hot molds," as well as "for rigid foam" and "for HR mode foam." We are developing various products to meet our customers' needs. 【Product Lineup】 ■ For soft slabs and hot molds ■ For HR mode foam ■ For rigid foam ■ (AB)n type *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This catalog introduces the chemistry, usage methods, and additive effects of "silane coupling agents" in representative application fields. It includes sections on "the functions of silane coupling agents," "the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of silane coupling agents," and "optimization of treatment conditions." Examples of applications in resin binders, paints and coatings, sealants, and more are also detailed. We encourage you to read it. 【Contents (partial)】 ■ What are silane coupling agents? - Introduction - Functions of silane coupling agents ■ Chemistry of silane coupling agents - Chemical structure of silane coupling agents - Hydrolysis and condensation reactions of silane coupling agents - Reactions between silane coupling agents and inorganic surfaces *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company offers a wide range of high-performance materials, including silane coupling agents, which are useful for applications such as bonding inorganic materials with organic resins. We are hosting a webinar for those who are facing challenges in improving the adhesion of inorganic and organic materials, heterogeneous bonding, resin modification, and surface modification. Technicians who have been involved in the development of paint additives and silanes at our company will give presentations, introducing the effects and roles of silane coupling agents, as well as precautions for use. 【Webinar Overview】 "DOW & Toray Silane Coupling Agent Technical Webinar" Date and Time: November 29, 2022 (Tuesday) 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Participation Fee: Free (Pre-registration required) *During the webinar, participants can ask questions anonymously via chat.

Silicone emulsions are products that disperse dimethyl silicone oil, various modified silicone oils, silicone resins, etc., in water using emulsifiers (surfactants). 【Typical Applications】 Textile treatment agents Water repellents Release agents Binders Gloss agents Defoamers Dow offers a range of products including dimethyl silicone emulsions, gum emulsions, modified silicone emulsions, silicone resin emulsions, and elastomer powder suspensions. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Our company offers a wide range of 'silicone defoamers' that excel in defoaming properties and persistence, contributing to quality improvement and total cost reduction. In June 2022, we held a webinar aimed at personnel involved in production process improvement and product development, explaining the challenges posed by the occurrence of "foam" in production processes, the mechanisms of defoamers, and the characteristics of silicone defoamers suitable for various industries. On this page, we are offering webinar materials that are not available on our official website for free. The materials include test data, product selection, and information about a diagnostic site where sample requests can be made.
