- Processing Guidelines
- 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.
- Diluting the Antifoam
- 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.
