Antifoam 100 Food Grade

100% active compounds based on polydimethylsiloxane fluid (PDMS) and 2% - 60% emulsions thereof, suitable for many areas - agricultural, pool & spa, food processing, waste water, and general industrial foam control.

• AF-100 FG is effective in very low concentrations.
• One to 50 parts of antifoam per million parts foamer are sufficient to suppress most foams.
• When evaluating, the suggested starting concentration is 10 ppm silicone solids.
• Except in food processing, this level can then be increased as necessary.

• AF-100 FG can be used as is or diluted prior to use.
• Dilution or dispersion in either a solvent or the foaming media provides an excellent means of incorporating low concentrations of defoamer into a non-aqueous system.
• Such dilution or dispersion also provides greater ease of handling and more effective use of the silicone.

Food Additive Status

• AF-100 FG has been used in food related applications under FDA regulation 21 CFR 173.340 as a direct food at levels up to 10 ppm silicone solids.
• Generally, it has been found to comply with the following regulations for use as an indirect additive in the manufacture of food packaging components or food contact surfaces: 21 CFR 175.105, 176.170, 176.180, 176.200, 176.210, 177.1200, 177.2260, 177.2800, 177.3120.

• AF-100 FG has great storage stability when stored in a tightly closed container in a cool place.
• Normal shelf live when stored under these conditions should be 12 months.
• It should be stirred before using.
• Freezing will not harm the product.
