- Diluting the Antifoam
AF-100 FG can be used as is or diluted prior to use. Dilution or dispersion in either a solvent or the foaming media provides an excellent means of incorporating low concentrations of defoamer into a non-aqueous system. Such dilution or dispersion also provides greater ease of handling and more effective use of the silicone.

Food Additive Status
- AF-100 FG has been used in food related applications under FDA regulation 21 CFR 173.340 as a direct food at levels up to 10 ppm silicone solids.
- Generally, it has been found to comply with the following regulations for use as an indirect additive in the manufacture of food packaging components or food contact surfaces: 21 CFR 175.105, 176.170, 176.180, 176.200, 176.210, 177.1200, 177.2260, 177.2800, 177.3120.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing Guidelines
AF-100 FG is effective in very low concentrations. One to 50 parts of antifoam per million parts foamer are sufficient to suppress most foams. When evaluating, the suggested starting concentration is 10 ppm silicone solids. Except in food processing, this level can then be increased as necessary.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 12 months
- Storage & Handling Information
AF-100 FG has great storage stability when stored in a tightly closed container in a cool place. Normal shelf live when stored under these conditions should be 12 months. It should be stirred before using. Freezing will not harm the product.
