It's Kremer catalog #78600, the only info given is "Defoamer, use
dropwise in waterbased paints to reduce foaming... $8 for 250 ml." Since
acrylic paints do tend to foam it's presumably formulated for them.
But note that Kremer has all kinds of interesting materials, besides their
dry pigments, including casein, matting agents, and wax media of various
kinds. The same page of the catalog, BTW, has a recipe for Kremer
gouache, containing something called Preventol ON Extra as preservative,
and an olive oil soap that "restores natural fats to skin and bristles."

PS: Kodak used to make an anti-foam agent, discontinued these many years,
as so many of Kodak's more interesting products. Speaking of which,
today's NY Times business section (Monday) has an article could be titled
Kodak Woes, about its intent to shift from consumer products to "business
to business."
