INTRODUCTION
SILICONE ANTIFOAM AF-1348 is the best chemical auxiliary for Textile. It is well known that conventional silicone foam control agents used in the papers, textiles, metal working, coating and adhesion processes, cause many disadvantage results. Especially in the textile jet dyeing, due to the high temp (120-130oC) and shear conditions, silicone oil always plating out on the inside of dye bath and cause severe spot and shading problem on the textiles. Now the new compounds ANTIFOAM AF-1348 has been found and designed for used in almost of the foam control case without introducing spots and other problems.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance .....................................................................Opaque Liquid
Specific Gravity 25oC .....................................................1.01 +/- 0.03 Stability.........................................................................…Excellent
APPLICATIONS
ANTIFOAM AF-1348 is often added to the processing system before foaming start as foam inhibitor. Although effective concentration is vary with each foaming system. ANTIFOAM AF-1348 is effective in the concentration as low as 50 ppm. It must be noted that ANTIFOAM AF-1348 reaches maximum antifoam efficiency over 45°C. So the optimum foam control in foaming systems must over 45°C.
