Silcolapse® 482

• Good efficiency at high temperature.
• Easy to use: it can be used as delivered, or emulsified with usual surfactants of silicone antifoam emulsions.
• High efficiency at alkaline pH.
• Low dose efficiency, at around 1 to 100 mg per kg of system to be defoamed.
• Chemically inert with regards to the substance to be defoamed therefore leaving its properties unchanged.

Silcolapse® 482 is multi-purpose :

• Crop protection products: product formulation (emulsifiable concentrates and aqueous dispersions). It is exempted from tolerance under chapter 40 CFR 180.920 for crop protection and 40 CFR 180.930 for animal food.
• Detergency: liquids and powdered detergent, surfactants.
• Pulp Industry: Kraft or Sulfite process.
• Chemicals: distillation, extraction, filtration.

Silcolapse® 482 is efficient both in aqueous and in anhydrous media. It disperses readily provided a suitable thinner is used. It is normally used at concentrations of between 1 and 100 mg/kg of system to be defoamed. Silcolapse® 482 is ready to use as delivered, or it can be pre-diluted to around 1% to 10% active matter by slowly adding, 99 or 90 parts of selected thinner. It can be diluted in solvent of silicone oil. 

• In anhydrous media: aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons.
• In aqueous media: in this case thinner should be either watersoluble or water dispersible such as : Certain ketones : methylethylketone or methylisobutylketone, Certain alcohols: tertiary butanol, dodecanol-1 or ethyl2hexanol, Certain ethers: ethyl ether or isopropyl ether.

When stored in its original packaging: SILCOLAPSE 482 may be stored at temperatures between -5°C / 23°F and 40°C / 104°F for up to 18 months from its date of manufacturing.
