Abstract

A foam inhibitor mixture of compounds corresponding to the following formulae: ##STR1## in which R represents a glycerol residue, trimethylol ethane residue, trimethylol propane residue or a polyglycerol residue having a degree of polymerization x of from 2 to 6 and the indices y=(x-z+2), z=(x-y+2), a=1 to 15, b=50 to 250, c=1 to 15, d=50 to 250 and e=1 to 15, with the proviso that the sums (a+c+e)=2 to 20, (b+d)=50 to 250 and (c+e)=1 to 15 and y has a value of at least 1; R.sup.1 represents a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl or alkenyl radical containing from 8 to 20 C-atoms or an aromatic alkyl radical containing from 12 to 20 C-atoms, R.sup.2 represents an alkyl radical containing from 3 to 8 C-atoms and n is a number of from 4 to 30. The mixture preferably contains from 99 to 70% by weight of the block polymer (I) and from 1 to 30% by weight of the emulsifier (II).
