KAG 47 Silicone Antifoam Compound

Product Description

KAG 47 antifoam may be an excellent candidate for boosting performance in non-aqueous systems, via reliable foam prevention. This moderately viscous compound may support an array of industrial applications at full as-supplied strength, in a solvent dispersion or in blends, depending on system needs. KAG 47 antifoam helps prevent foam through addition to the system before foaming begins.

Key Features and Typical Benefits

  • Material antifoam performance in non-aqueous systems
  • Increased production throughput
  • General-purpose reliability
  • Meets the requirements of EPA Regulation 40 CFR 180.1001(c) as a defoamer for pesticides

Potential Applications

This antifoam's built-in versatility may allow its use In applications such as non-aqueous printing inks, agrichemicals, cleaners and detergents, lubricants, resin handling/manufacturing, sludge dewatering and chemical separations/distillations.

How to Use

Use KAG 47 antifoam as received or dilute first with the process liquid (Table 1). Mix the antifoam when the package is opened to maximize results.
  • Dilution: Mix 3 to 10 parts of the process liquid to 1 part antifoam; stir gently until a uniform mixture is reached. Ensure product uniformity over long storage periods by gentle periodic mixing
  • For maximizing cost-effectiveness: Predilute KAG 47 antifoam and add continuously at a process segment prior to foaming
  • We suggest starting concentrations of 10 to 200 ppm
