- Processing Guidelines
- Concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 ppm have proved effective in most foaming systems.
- A good starting point is about 25 parts antifoam per million parts foamer.
- The results obtained at this concentration will indicate whether to increase or decrease the amount of antifoam.
- Diluting the Antifoam
- AF-10 FG disperses readily in aqueous systems.
- The emulsion can be added directly to the foamer with only mild agitation to thoroughly disperse.
- For use in systems where maximum efficiency is desired the silicone emulsion should be pre-diluted with water before being added to the foamer.
- If it is necessary to store the diluted material for longer than 8 hours it should be frequently agitated.

- Storage & Handling Information
- This product exhibits excellent storage stability when proper handling procedures are followed. As with most emulsions, storage in a cool place (60-75F max.) in a tightly closed container will provide maximum shelf life. Under these conditions, it has a minimum shelf life of one year.
- Because it contains water, it should be protected from freezing. Repeated freezing may damage the container or may separate the emulsion rendering it unsuitable for use.
