Textiles & Leather

Foam occurs in almost all textile and leather processes, impairing product properties and interfering with processes. Antifoams are an effective remedy in such cases. WACKER foam-control systems are broad-spectrum products that can be deployed as product defoamers and process defoamers. SILFOAM® antifoams are highly efficient at controlling foaming and are largely chemically unreactive.
