- Applications
- SILFOAM® SE 1060 has proved ideal for tackling foam in surfactant rich formulations. (Antifoams)
- It is mainly used in wastewater treatment but it is also a useful auxiliary in many processes of the chemical industry.
- Application Details
- SILFOAM® SE 1060 is a low-viscosity emulsion, it can be metered readily, with stable dispersions easily attainable in highviscosity formulations.
- In low-viscosity products, preliminary compatibility and stability tests should be performed on the system to be defoamed.
- The amount to add to liquid formulations depends on the desired degree of foam control, but usually lies between 0.1 and 2 %.
- If SILFOAM® SE 1060 is to be added during a process, the emulsion should be added undiluted, as it is already sufficiently dispersed by its emulsion form.
- Especially after a longer storage time we recommend to stir the emulsion before use (approx. 3 minutes with a propeller stirrer at 200 – 400 rpm).
- But be cautious: too high shear can break the emulsion.
- If feed pumps are used, they should be of the low shear force type.
