ANTIFOAM S30
General reagent grade
A silicone based anti foam emulsion, which is easily diluted with water and quickly destroys foam in acid, neutral and alkaline aqueous foaming systems.
It can be used as supplied or pre-diluted with tap water to required concentration.
Dilute application is recommended in the case of hot foaming systems.

Antifoam S30 destroys and combats foaming in distillation, detergent processing, cutting oils and coolants, bottle washing, dye processing, boiler water treatment, latex stripping, fibre treatment.
How to use antifoam S30
As Anti foam S30 can be used to de-foam many different processing operations, indication of working concentrations are difficult to predict, but as a general rule neat Antifoam can be added at a concentration of 20 - 100 parts per million.
Before adding it is advisable to predilute the antifoam with water to ensure effective dispersion.
