How To Use: Silicaid® AF-52 can be added directly to cool foaming systems.
For hot foaming systems, it is advisable to pre-dilute the emulsion with cold de-ionized or distilled water in the ratio of 1 part Antifoam AF-52 to 5 parts of water.
Although the diluted emulsion will show good storage stability for up to 24 hours, it is always advisable to stir gently before use. It is recommended to avoid aggressive stirring.
A suggested starting concentration is 100 PPM but this might vary widely especially in preparing concentrated foaming formulations, were higher concentrations may be needed.
Avoid freezing.
Safety Instruction: Please consult Silicaid® AF-52 MSDS
