Information about Defoam FG-10

DESCRIPTION
Defoam FG-10 anitifoam emulsion is an easy-to-use, water dilutable, silicone defoamer for aqueous systems. Easy to dilute and disperse, it is effective in high temperature systems, high-sugar solutions, and salt brines, and maintains its effectiveness at temperatures to boiling.
This emulsion contains 10 percent of a silicone compound, food grade; and it qualifies under FDA regulations for use in foods and also has gained acceptance for use in Kosher foods.

FDA Status
Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion is manufactured under high standards of purity and sanitation, and is formulated with specially selected ingredients which, at the prescribed level, are permitted for direct addition to food by the Federal Food and Drug Administration or are considered "generally recognized as safe." Use of Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion is permissible in most foods, in concentrations up to 100 parts defoamer as received per million parts foamer. Any limitations on use in standardized foods should be observed. (See FDA Regulation 21 CFR 173.340 [formerly 121.1099] under dimethylpolysiloxane.)

KOSHER ACCEPTANCE

Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion is acceptable for use in the processing of Kosher foods.
HOW TO USE
Amount Needed
Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion is effective in concentrations as low as 10 parts per million. In testing to determine proper concentration for a particular application, start at 25 parts defoamer per million parts foamer. Results will indicate whether an increase or decrease in defoamer is needed.
To determine the actual quantity of the antifoam emulsion required for a batch or work period (assuming that the concentration needed to control the foamer is known), use the addition rate chart.
Diluting the Antifoam
Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion disperses easily in aqueous systems. The emulsion can be added directly to the foamer as supplied, requiring only agitation to disperse thoroughly.
For use in systems where maximum efficiency is desired, the emulsion should be prediluted with water before being added to the foamer. The recommended dilution procedure is as follows:
1.Stir or agitate the antifoam before removing it from the shipping container.
2.Dilute the required amount of antifoam with nine volumes of water by addin@ the water slowly to the defoamer with continual, lowshear mixing.
3.Use the diluted defoamer within eight hours after dilution for best results. If longer storage is necessary, the diluted material should be stirred frequently.
4.Add the diluted defoamer mixture to the foaming system. Stir or agitate to achieve complete dispersion and efficient foam control.
SHIPPING LIMITATIONS
None.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
When stored at or below 90°F (32°C), Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion has a shelf life of 12 months from date of shipment.
PACKAGING
Defoam FG-10 antifoam emulsion is supplied in 1 kg, 4 kg and 20 kg containers. All weights, net.
