TRANS-400, AMS Food Grade Defoamer

TRANS-400 was designed to be added to the foaming media in its neat form, either by metering through a pump or by direct addition. However, it is sometimes preferable to disperse TRANS-400 in water with gentle agitation prior to use. Aqueous dispersions of TRANS-400 are not stable for long periods of time and should be sued immediately. For best results, maintain agitation in the dispersion until the moment of application, or at least ensure that the dispersion is thoroughly stirred immediately prior to application.
Do not store the defoamer in diluted form for long periods of time.

Each foaming problem is unique and requires different treatment levels of defoamer. Use only the minimum amount of defoamer required to control the foam. Experimentation is usually necessary to optimize the amount of defoamer used in a given process, and thorough testing should always be conducted to determine the suitability and compatibility of the defoamer with the foaming system and processing equipment.
