Applications

DEFOAMER 019-B is most effective in controlling foam in aqueous systems. Concentrations of 0.25% to 0.5% based on the total mixture are suggested as a start, but often lower amounts are found to give the required defoaming action. Should it be necessary, depending upon the process, small amounts of DEFOAMER 019-B may be added at various time intervals throughout the processing period rather than add the full amount at the start of the process.
