Granulated foam control agent for the rinse cycle using siloxane wax

摘要

A granulated antifoam composition comprising an antifoam, a siloxane wax binder, and a carrier. The antifoam includes a hydrophobic fluid wherein the hydrophobic fluid has a surface tension which is greater than or approximately equal to the dynamic surface tension of an aqueous dispersion of the detergent at above the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant and less than about 62 mN/m. The antifoam further includes a finely divided solid hydrophobic filler dispersed in the hydrophobic fluid.

1. A granulated antifoam composition comprising:
(1) an antifoam component including;
(a) a hydrophobic fluid having a surface tension of at least 27 mN/m and less than 40 mN/m, and(b) a finely divided solid hydrophobic filler dispersed in the hydrophobic fluid (a); (2) a silicon-containing wax binder that is solid at room temperature and having at least one alkyl group; and (3) a carrier different from the hydrophobic filler (b).
