  • Patent number: 5977191
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling foam in a foam producing system comprising adding to the foam producing system a dispersible silicone composition comprising (I) a silicone composition prepared by reacting (i) a polyorganosiloxane, (ii) a silicon compound, optionally (iii) a finely divided filler, and (iv) a catalytic amount of a compound for promoting the reaction of the other components and (II) a hydrocarbon oil. The hydrocarbon oil is effective as a dispersing agent for the silicone composition (I). The hydrocarbon oil-containing compositions are easier to handle, and produce less waste and its dispersion into mineral oil based formulations is more efficient.
