Organopolysiloxane anti-foaming agents

A process for the production of a mixed formal of polyglycol ethers having formulae selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a straight or branched chain alkyl having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and straight or branched chain alkyl having from 1 to 17 carbon atoms, where the sum of the carbon atoms in R.sup.1 plus R.sup.2 is from 6 to 18, R.sup.3 is a member selected from the group consisting of monoalkylphenyl having from 14 to 26 carbon atoms, dialkylphenyl having from 14 to 26 carbon atoms, trialkylphenyl having from 14 to 26 carbon atoms, a straight or branched chain alkyl having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, a straight or branched chain alkenyl having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and a radical having the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the above assigned values, and R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of a straight or branched chain alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, phenyl and alkylphenyl having from 7 to 9 carbon atoms, R.sup.4 is a straight or branched chain alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, A and B are selected from the group consisting of ethylene and isopropylene, m and n are integers from 0 to 50, p is an integer from 2 to 50, and q is an integer from 0 to 3, where the sum of m plus n is from 2 to 50, consisting essentially of the steps of (1) reacting a polyglycol ether having the formulae selected from the group consisting of ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, A, m, n and p have the above-assigned meanings, with a diformal having the formula

Mixed formals of polyglycol ethers

This invention relates to a foam inhibiting composition comprising:

Foam inhibitor useful in synthetic resin, lacquer, and paint dispersions

An alkaline washing composition comprised of strongly alkaline reacting inorganic salts, optionally wetting agents and a defoaming effective amount of at least one mixed formal of an alkylpolyglycol ether having the formula:

Prevention of foam in alkaline cleansing bath by the use of mixed

This invention relates to fertilizer compositions containing alkylene oxide anticaking agents. More particularly, this invention relates to a method of decreasing the caking during storage in a hygroscopic salt or fertilizer which normally cakes on storage, which comprises uniformly admixing with said hygroscopic salt or fertilizer an effective amount of an anticaking agent consisting of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of adducts of from 6 to 15 mols of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide onto 1 mol of a .beta.-hydroxyalkyl-diethanolamine of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is an alkyl of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and R.sup.2 is hydrogen or alkyl of from 1 to 16 carbon atoms, the sum of the carbon atoms in R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 being from 8 to 18.
