Silway 140 is a high performance foam control antifoam emulsion based on organo-modified silicone.
Silway 140 provides excellent initial foam control and with the ability to maintain foam control properties over long period.
Silway 140 can be easily diluted and dispersed. Therefore it can be evenly dispersed in water-based agricultural formulations.
Silway 140 is widely used in many agricultural applications, like as foam control agent for pesticides, during production, packaging and spray tank operations.

• Excellent defoaming performance in a wide temperature range (25 ºC ~100 ºC)
• Good stability in water, easy to dilute and disperse in water
• Stable in alkaline environment (pH 8~10)
• It is effective at a very low dosage in the formula, the recommended dosage is 0.05%~0.2%
• Excellent rapid defoaming capability in difficult-to-control foam systems
* Crop protection products
* Herbicides
* Insecticides
* Fungicides
* Nutrients and plant growth regulators
* Silway 140 silicone antifoam emulsion is an excellent candidate for commercial use in both water-based systems
and surfactant concentrates. It can therefore be added directly to these systems without pre-dilution and mixed
with slow to moderate agitation to ensure a complete and homogenous dispersion.
* The addition levels of Silway 140 silicone antifoam emulsion, when used in the final foaming system, will be
dependent upon the nature of the foaming system and the type of agitation generating the foam. A recommended
starting point is addition of sufficient Silway 140 silicone antifoam emulsion that would give between 1 ppm and 50
ppm of antifoam (based on solid content) into the final foaming formulation.
* As with any water-based formulation, it is recommended to confirm that the foam control agent remains dispersed
once added to the pesticide formulation.
