Abstract: Polysiloxane-polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene triblock copolymers having the general formula: ##STR1## as well as compounds for the defoaming of aqueous dispersion paints that are disclosed contain the copolymers as effective defoaming components.

Abstract: Polyoxyalkylene-polysiloxane block copolymers are disclosed which exhibit an outstanding defoaming action and have the special advantage of not causing wetting defects when dispersions defoamed therewith are applied on a 2-dimensional substrate. Dispersions of polymeric organic substances, especially dispersions of vehicles, coating agents and adhesives are defoamed by the addition of 0.01 to 2.0% by weight, based on the dispersion to be defoamed, of a polyoxyalkylene-polysiloxane block copolymer of the formula,R.sup.1 O--A--[B--A--].sub.m R.sup.1whereinA is a polyoxyalkylene block with the average formula C.sub.n H.sub.2n O--)y, in which n has a value of 2.8 to 4.0 and y a value of 15 to 100,B is a polysiloxane block of the average formula, ##STR1## wherein the R.sup.2 groups are the same or different and represent an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group, with the proviso that at least 90% of the R.sup.2 groups are methyl groups and x has a value of 10 to 100,R.sup.

Abstract: Alkoxysiloxanes of the general formula ##STR1## are disclosed wherein R.sup.1 is methyl or ##STR2## and/or ##STR3## the sum of the units a being 0 to 100, the sum of the units b being 0 to 15, with the proviso that the ratio of methyl to alkoxy groups in R.sup.1 is less than 50:1, and that b.gtoreq.1 when a=0 and a.gtoreq.5 when b=0.The compounds may be synthesized by known methods from halogen- or alkoxysiloxanes, the alkoxy group of which has 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The compounds are effective deaerating agents for curable resins and plastisols. The invention is also directed to compositions containing the novel deaerating compounds as well as to methods for deaerating coating systems.
