- Processing Guidelines
- Antifoam 8830 can be used as received or pre-diluted with water or other process liquids before use.
- Concentrations from 5 to 100 ppm are sufficient for foam control in most systems.
- In testing, to determine the most effective working concentrations, a good starting point is to add 10 parts of antifoam per million parts foamer.
- Diluting the Antifoam
- This product is readily dispersible in warm or cold water with gentle agitation.
- For best results, mix one part of antifoam with 2-12 parts sterilized water or other diluent and stir gently until completely mixed.
- If it is necessary to store the diluted material, continuous, mild agitation is recommended to ensure uniform product.

- Storage & Handling Information
- This product exhibits excellent storage stability when proper handling procedures are followed. As with most emulsions, storage in a cool dry place (60-75°F) in tightly-closed containers will provide maximum shelf life. Under these conditions, shelf life is 12 months minimum.
- Product should be protected from freezing. Repeated freezing may damage container and may cause thickening or separation of emulsion. If freezing occurs, allow to thaw, mix thoroughly and use the emulsion as usual.
