Features & Benefits

Avantages
  • Its effectiveness ranges from acidic to slightly alkaline pH range (pH 1 - 11).
  • Can be used both undiluted and diluted with water.
  • Spraying the undiluted or diluted defoamer onto the foam surface.
  • Discontinuous addition of the diluted or undiluted defoamer into the aqueous solution to destroy an existing foam blanket.
  • Continuous addition especially to prevent foam formation.
  • Easily emulsifiable with water and resistant to acids and weak alkalis.

Applications
  • KEBOSPUM LF was developed as universal agent for the control of the foam formation in aqueous systems. It is efficient in the acid up to weakly alkaline pH-range (pH 1-11).
  • KEBOSPUM LF can be used not only in undiluted form but also diluted with water. The optimal application parameters depend on the conditions at site. The following application methods are possible:
    • Spraying of the undiluted or diluted antifoam on the foam surface
    • Intermittent addition of the undiluted or diluted antifoam into the aqueous solution to destroy an existing foam layer
    • Continuous addition, especially to prevent the formation of foam.
  • KEBOSPUM LF is easily emulsifiable with water and resistant to acids and weak alkalies.
Dosing
  • As the addition of the antifoam depends on the degree of foam development and the foam resistancy it is not possible to exactly indicate the necessary dosing rates.
  • In general dosing rates vary from 0.05 to 0.5% referring to the medium with a tendency to foam. However, considering the large number of reasons for foaming and the different kinds of systems to be defoamed we recommend to determine the most favorable dosing level by tests on your own.
