  • Patent number: 5968872
    Abstract: The present invention teaches silicone polyether copolymers with a low degree of polymerization (3 to 4 Si units) provide control for foams generated by organosilicone based surfactants in water without the need for an additional antifoam component. The copolymer foam control agent is a compound of the formula(CH.sub.3).sub.3 SiO[SiO(CH.sub.3).sub.2 ].sub.X [SiOCH.sub.3 R.sup.1 ].sub.Y Si(CH.sub.3).sub.3wherein X+Y=1 to 2, Y.gtoreq.1, R.sup.1 is an alkyleneoxide group of the formula C.sub.a H.sub.2a O(C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub.z R.sup.2 wherein a=3 to 4, z is 1 to 15, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, a hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 4 carbons or acetyl. This invention provides compositions for use in agricultural formulations that give improved foam control for foams generated from organosilicone surfactants in aqueous systems.
