Instructions for Use
  • Silcolapse® 432 may either be used as delivered, or it may first be diluted in water or in an amount of the medium to be defoamed. In this case, the water is added to the antifoam slowly whilst gently stirring. It is not recommended to proceed in the opposite manner.
  • Remark: Silcolapse® 432 may decant during prolonged storage without loss of antifoam properties. A rehomogenisation is then necessary with a helix stirrer or a recirculation system using a pump.
  • If Silcolapse® 432 is used in formulation, it is advised homogenisation just before the introduction.
