Rapid and long lasting defoaming is accomplished by use of a defoamer formulation employing an organopolysiloxane having siloxy groups linked by an alkylene group, a filler, a silicone resin, a silanol-terminated organopolysiloxane, and an inorganic or organic acid.

Defoamer formulations with rapid knockdown and extended performance contain specific polyorganosiloxanes having alkylene linkages between siloxy groups, silicone resins, fillers, a polyoxyethylene surfactant, and an organic or inorganic acid.

Defoamer compositions containing a plurality of defined organopolysiloxanes exhibit very short initial foam collapse and yet exhibit long lasting defoaming activity when added to aqueous media prone to foaming.

Defoamer compositions which act rapidly and over an extended period of time employ organopolysiloxanes having alkylene linking groups bridging siloxy groups, a filler, a silicone resin, and phosphoric acid.

Papermaking additives that include various polymers and/or micropolymers are disclosed. The micropolymers may have a network structure that can be created by crosslinking or other means. The micropolymer may be an acrylamide based polymer having a boronic acid moiety. The weight average molecular weight of the micropolymer may be greater than 1,000,000.
