FOMEX -1430 Antifoam Emulsion is a water-dilutable, 30 percent active silicone
emulsion that is designed to control foam in aqueous and non-aqueous systems
How To Use Amount Needed
FOMEX 1430 Antifoam Emulsion works effectively in very low concentrations. One to 100 parts of active silicone per million parts is sufficient to eliminate most foams. Begin trials at higher use levels (50 ppm active silicone), then work down to the level of foam control desired. The following are parts per million equivalents:
To produce optimal foam control, it is necessary to have the antifoam completely dispersed in the foaming medium. Follow these steps to achieve complete dispersion:
water with slow mixing. Prediluted material should be used immediately. If the system can provide adequate agitation to disperse the antifoam, the antifoam emulsion may be added directly without predilution being necessary. 3. Add the diluted antifoam prior to the point where foaming occurs within the system, if possible.
A preservative to guard against microbial growth is included in ROHAM antifoam FOMEX 1430 Emulsion. Dilution will substantially diminish the effectiveness of the preservative.
If diluted material is to be stored for more than several days, additional preservative may be required
