SILFOAM® SE 39

• Antifoams for Textile Finishing
• Antifoams
• Antifoams for Agrochemicals
• Antifoams for Household & Cleaning
• Antifoams for Leather Finishing

In surfactant-rich formulations, such as liquid detergents and textile auxiliaries. SILFOAM® SE 39 is particularly suitable for applications in which high surfactant concentrations or intensive product movement would cause conventional antifoam emulsions to become rapidly ineffective.

Processing

• SILFOAM® SE 39 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 39 is to be added during a process, we recommend prediluting it with cold water in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:10. 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.

• Defoaming
• Dilutable with water
• High alkali-resistant
