Instructions for Use of Silicone Defoaming Agent
Silicone defoamers are commonly used defoamers suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The following are general usage instructions:
1. Product Features
Excellent defoaming performance: effectively inhibits foam formation and rapidly eliminates existing foam.
Chaical stability: stable in high-taperature, h3 acid, and h3 alkali environments, with broad applicability.
Low concentration usage: typically only a small amount is needed to achieve good defoaming results.
2. Usage Methods
Dilution: Dilute with water or other media according to the product manual as needed.
Addition Methods:
Pre-addition: Add the defoamer to the systa before the production process begins to prevent foam formation.
Post-addition: Add the defoamer directly to the foam area once foam has formed.
Mixing: Ensure the defoamer is thoroughly mixed with the medium to achieve uniform dispersion.
3. Dosage
The dosage is generally 0.01% to 1% of the total product volume (specific dosage depends on foam conditions and usage environment). It is recommended to conduct small-scale trials to determine the optimal dosage.
4. Precautions
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high taperatures.
Compatibility: Conduct compatibility testing before large-scale application to avoid adverse reactions with other additives.
Safety: Follow safety operating procedures and wear appropriate protective equipment when using.
5. Application Areas
Paints: Prevents foam formation during spraying and coating processes.
Cleaning agents: Used in cleaning agents to enhance their cleaning efficacy.
Paper, textile, food processing, etc.: Widely used in various industrial processes requiring foam suppression.
Please refer to the technical data sheet (TDS) or safety data sheet (SDS) for specific products to obtain detailed information and ensure proper and safe use of the silicone defoamer.
