ADDSiL™ 5913 is a VOC-free silicone defoamer which is particularly designed for water- and glycol-based pigment concentrates and universal colorants. It prevents foam during grinding with a long-term stability. It is suitable for resin-free abrasives (pigment concentrates).
Excellent defoaming performance during grinding
Long-term stability in aqueous and glycol dispersions
Effective in both defoaming and foam suppression
Minimal impact on film properties in water-based systems
High shear stability
Color and Appearance | Colorless to yellow liquid |
Ingredient | Modified polydimethylsiloxane |
Active Content | > 96% |

ADDSiL™ 5913 is particularly suitable for aqueous and glycol-based pigment concentrates, especially in resin-free grinding systems. It is widely used in universal colorants, water-based coatings, and water-based inks, where it provides effective foam suppression during dispersion and processing without affecting film properties.
ADDSiL™ 5913 is supplied in 25Kg Pail.
When stored at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C in the original unopened containers, ADDSiL™ 5913 has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of production.
