TRANS-713, AMS Silicone-Free, Oil Based Defoamer

To control foam, the recommended method of application is to add TRANS-713 defoamer directly to the foaming product or process in its neat form.

Each foaming problem is unique and requires different treatment levels of defoamer, therefore use only the minimum amount of defoamer required to control the foam. Trial testing will be necessary to optimize the amount of defoamer used in a given process. A simple technique is to begin testing the defoamer at a few points between 50 and 500 parts per million (0.005 – 0.05% by weight) to ascertain performance, and then scale the defoamer concentration up or down from there as needed. Usage levels well below this range, and sometimes even well above, are not uncommon in some products and processes. As with any antifoam or defoamer, thorough testing should always be conducted to determine the suitability and compatibility of the defoamer with the foaming system and processing equipment.
