- Product Applications
Suggested applications include:
- Meat and poultry processing
- Fruits and juices
- Pickles
- Rice processing
- Potato washing
- Soft drinks
- Instant coffee, and other food processes or products requiring an effective foam control agent
- Diluting the Antifoam
This product is readily dispersible in warm or cold water with gentle agitation. For best results, mix one part of antifoam with 2-12 parts sterilized water or other diluent and stir gently until completely mixed. If it is necessary to store the diluted material, continuous mild agitation is recommended to ensure uniform product.

Federal Regulation Compliance
- Antifoam 8820 FG is approved for use as a direct food additive under FDA 21 CFR 173.340 at levels up to 10 ppm active silicone (50 ppm AF 8820 FG) in the finished food, with 0 ppm allowed in milk,where food standards permit.
- In addition, AF 8820 complies with 21 CFR 175.105, 176.170, 176.180, 176.200, 176.210, 177.1200, 177.2260, 177.2800 and 178.3120 for use as an indirect additive in the manufacturing of food processing components and food contact surfaces.
- It is also cleared as a tolerance exempt inert ingredient under formulations applied to growing crops or raw agricultural commodities after harvest.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing Guidelines
- Antifoam 8820 FG can be used as received or pre-diluted with water or other process liquids before use.
- Concentrations from 5 to 100 ppm are sufficient for foam control in most systems. In testing to determine the most effective working concentrations, a good starting point is to add 10 parts of antifoam per million parts foamer.
- In direct food applications, adjust concentration to comply with FDA regulations as explained under regulatory status.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 12 months
- Storage & Handling Information
- This product exhibits excellent storage stability when proper handling procedures are followed. As with most emulsions, storage in a cool dry place (60-75°F) in tightly-closed containers will provide maximum shelf life. Under these conditions, shelf life is 12 months minimum.
- Product should be protected from freezing. Repeated freezing may damage container and may cause thickening or separation of emulsion. If freezing occurs, allow to thaw, mix thoroughly and use the emulsion as usual.
