For making antifoam emulsion , what is ideal chain length for silicone oil (dispersed phase 80%) and •secondary branched alcohol ethoxylated emulsifier (0.2-0.5% by weight)
Accepted Answer
The ideal chain length for silicone oil in an antifoam emulsion depends on the specific application and the desired properties. Generally, a longer chain length (e.g., 10-20 carbon atoms) provides better antifoam performance, while shorter chains (e.g., 4-8 carbon atoms) lead to lower viscosity and improved dispersability. However, the specific chain length needs to be optimized based on the properties of the system and the desired performance characteristics.
