Processing
- In general we recommend stirring 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.
- The antifoam emulsion is best added undiluted. If it is necessary to dilute it before use a dilution in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:5 with water is recommended. Dilutions should be used within several days.
- Dosage-pumps should not have high shearforces. The typical dosage is in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 % and is best determined by preliminary tests. The respective food regulations must be followed.
- Due to the ingredients contained, SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM is recommended for food and food contact applications.

Use for food processing Europe
- SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM is a silicone fluid emulsion based on E 900 and may only be used as a processing aid for food.
- Therefore, it has to be ensured by the producer of the foodstuff, that only technically unavoidable traces of SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM remain in the final food.
Contact with food
The ingredients of SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM are contained in the positive lists of regulations for essential commodities intended to come into contact with food.
FIFRA
SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM also meets the criteria for an "Exemption from Tolerance" under 40 CFR § 180.910 and 180.920 pre- and post-harvest.
GMO-status
- SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM does not contain genetically modified organisms.
- Regulatory sanctioning of the ingredients in a product does not imply that the finished product manufactured from those ingredients is considered safe by regulatory bodies. Responsibility for compliance with specific limits e.g. on migration/ extraction resides with the manufacturer of the finished product.
