Antifoams for Household & Cleaning
- Application Details
In surfactant-rich formulations, such as liquid detergents, textile additives and cleaning agents.
Processing
- As SILFOAM® SE 36 is a medium-viscosity emulsion, it can often be metered directly. To produce a stable dispersion in high-viscosity formulations, it is best to stir at low shear rates. Preliminary compatibility and stability tests should be performed on the system to be defoamed.
- Addition of 1 - 2 % usually suffices for liquid detergents, with no need for predilution; from 0.2 - 1 % is recommended for cleaning agents.
- If SILFOAM® SE 36 is to be added during a process, predilution with cold water in a ratio of 1 : 1 to 1 : 10 will result in more accurate metering. These diluted emulsions have a lower storage stability and should be processed as close in time as possible. If feed pumps are used, they should be of the low shear force type.
