Abstract
Abstract To prepare a highly effective foam inhibitor mixture consisting of paraffin hydrocarbons, hydrophobicized silica and liquid paraffin hydrocarbons, a finely divided silica is dispersed in paraffin hydrocarbons melting above 40° C. and reacted with alkyl trichlorosilanes wherein the alkyl groups contain from 4 to 22 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A defoaming composition of matter consisting essentially of a hydrophobicized silica dispersed in a paraffin having a melting point above about 50° C., said composition having been prepared by a method comprising reacting a hydrophilic silica dispersed in melted paraffin with an alkyl trichlorosilane wherein the alkyl group contains from about 4 to about 22 carbon atoms, and removing therefrom the hydrogen chloride formed during the reaction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A defoaming composition of matter consisting essentially of a hydrophobicized silica dispersed in a paraffin having a melting point above about 50° C., said composition having been prepared by a method comprising reacting a hydrophilic silica dispersed in melted paraffin with an alkyl trichlorosilane wherein the alkyl group contains from about 4 to about 22 carbon atoms, and removing therefrom the hydrogen chloride formed during the reaction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 1 wherein said silica is present in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 22% by weight, based on the weight of said composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 1 wherein from about 0.01 to about 0.3 mole of said alkyl trichlorosilane was used per mole of said silica.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 1 wherein said paraffin is selected from microparaffins and mixtures thereof with hard paraffins and/or soft paraffins and/or paraffin oils.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 21 wherein said composition has been treated with a paraffin-soluble long-chain amine to neutralize residues of chlorinated hydrocarbon formed in said composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 1 wherein an inert gas has been introduced into said paraffin before, during, or after the addition of said silica to said composition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 1 mixed with a water-soluble or water-dispersible carrier.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 7 wherein said carrier is selected from an inorganic and organic material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A defoaming composition of matter as in claim 1 mixed with a detergent composition in an amount effective to reduce the foaming of said detergent composition.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
78 words
A defoaming detergent comprising: (A) a dishwashing detergent component; and (B) a defoaming composition of matter consisting essentially of a hydrophobicized silica dispersed in a paraffin having a melting point above about 50° C., said composition having been prepared by a method comprising reacting a hydrophilic silica dispersed in melted paraffin with an alkyl trichlorosilane wherein the alkyl group contains from about 4 to about 22 carbon atoms, and removing therefrom the hydrogen chloride formed during the reaction.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
78 words
A defoaming detergent comprising: (A) a dishwashing detergent component; and (B) a defoaming composition of matter consisting essentially of a hydrophobicized silica dispersed in a paraffin having a melting point above about 50° C., said composition having been prepared by a method comprising reacting a hydrophilic silica dispersed in melted paraffin with an alkyl trichlorosilane wherein the alkyl group contains from about 4 to about 22 carbon atoms, and removing therefrom the hydrogen chloride formed during the reaction.
