Product Benefits
  • Very Easy to Use: Silcolapse® 416 is self-dispersing prior dilution is unnecessary to disperse it in foaming mediums. The product’s very low viscosity enables its use with automated injection devices.
  • Low Dose Efficiency: this antifoam is effective at low doses, of around 1 to 100 mg per kg of substance to be defoamed.
  • Chemically Inert: with regards to the substance to be defoamed it therefore does not alter is properties.
