Application Details
  • Effective release of the active ingredient takes place even at low temperatures, and a good antifoam effect is also achieved at elevated temperatures.
  • SILFOAM® SP 150 is thus suited for both laundry detergent formulations with low washing temperatures and universal laundry detergents.
  • SILFOAM® SP 150 is recommended for phosphate-based and phosphate-free laundry detergents and can be used as a foam inhibitor on its own or combined with soap.
  • Due to its mode of action and carrier, SILFOAM® SP 150 has proved to be a universal antifoam agent for other powder products which are also likely to foam when they dissolve or are used, such as cleaners, granular pesticides etc.


Processing 

SILFOAM® SP 150 has a very good flowability and is therefore easy to use. 0.5 - 2.5% are usually incorporated into the product to be defoamed, but if a very exact and extremely low dosage is desired, a premix with sodium sulfate or a carrier of your choice can be prepared.
