Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a defoaming agent. The active compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein z=a whole number from 1 to 3; R 1 =a hydrocarbon radical having a functionality of z, and when z is l, a hydrogen radical; R 2 =hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, --CONHR 3 , ##STR2## or a --SiR 3 3 radical, in which at most 100/z % of all R 2 radicals may be hydrogen radicals; R 3 =a monofunctional hydrocarbon radical; R 4 =a linear alkyl radical with an average of 4 to 16 carbon atoms, a methyl, or hydrogen radical, in which case, however, no more than 90 mole percent of the R 4 radicals may be methyl or hydrogen radicals; and n=is a whole number not less than 2.
