A water-soluble silicone defoaming agent composition is provided. The composition can be uniformly solubilized with regard to an aqueous phase, is free of volatile organic compounds (VOC) as defined by the WHO, and has excellent defoaming properties and storage stability. A water-based paint additive and water-based paint using the same are also provided. The water-soluble silicone defoaming agent composition comprises: (A) polyether-modified silicone, polyglycerin-modified silicone, or a mixture thereof, in which the average value of HLB is within a range of 0.5 to 5.0; (B) one or more types selected from triethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether and triethylene glycol butyl methyl ether; and (C) water.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a curing catalyst that is highly stable and has a practical curing speed. The present invention provides a curing catalyst [B] used for curing a polymer [A] that has a reactive hydrolyzable silicon-containing group. The curing catalyst [B] contains the reaction products of a metal alkoxide [B1] and an ammonium hydroxide [B2]. The metal alkoxide [B1] includes one or both of a titanium compound [B1a] that is represented by chemical formula (1), and another metal alkoxide [B1b]. The other metal alkoxide [B1b] is an alkoxide of a metal other than titanium, and the ammonium hydroxide [B2] is represented by chemical formula (2).
