Shin-Etsu KS-66 Oil-Compound Silicone Defoamer
Shin-Etsu KS-66 is an oil-compound silicone defoamer formulated from silicone oil and finely divided silica. Unlike emulsion-type products, this oil-compound type contains no emulsifier and does not inherently disperse in water, allowing the intrinsic defoaming properties of silicone to be fully utilized. The key characteristic of KS-66 is its rapid defoaming action. Shin-Etsu specifically positions KS-66 as a defoamer focused on quick response, with excellent defoaming performance and good dispersibility. KS-66 also complies with relevant Japanese Food Sanitation Act requirements for food-additive silicone resin applications. It contains no preservative, making it especially suitable for fermentation processes where preservatives could adversely affect microorganisms. Typical applications also include food production, inks and general industrial processing. silicone.jp
