SILFOAM® SE 2660 SIMETH.EM

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.
