SILFOAM® SC 201

1 of 38 products in this brand
SILFOAM® SC 201 is a 100% active, low-viscosity silicone defoamer compound based on Wacker's innovative polysiloxane and silica technology. It is highly efficient at controlling foam longer than most conventional defoamers in high-alkaline and high-temperature applications. SILFOAM® SC 201 can be used directly to control foam in oil- or solvent-based foaming systems. It can also be easily emulsified into an emulsion for defoaming in aqueous-based foaming systems.

Application Details
  • SILFOAM SC 201 can be used in various Food, Industrial, and Consumer applications. 
  • SILFOAM® SC 201 is most efficient if introduced into the system before foaming has begun.
  • SILFOAM® SC 201 may be introduced as is, or by dispersing in one or more of the ingredients of the system in which foam is to be controlled. It also can be pre-dispersed in an appropriate solvent and then add this dispersion to the foaming system. The solvent used for dilution could be:
    • Aromatic hydrocarbons - toluene
    • Aliphatic hydrocarbons- mineral spirits, t-butanol
    • Esters
  • Note: If solvents are used to aid dispersing the SILFOAM® SC 201, the FDA and contact sanctioning becomes null and void.
  • Prior to use, it is recommended that SILFOAM® SC 201 be stirred under low shear for a few minutes before using. This will ensure that the fillers are completely dispersed in the material.
