Antifoam AF, Emulsion, Food Grade

As a Food Grade ingredient, this additive is manufactured and packaged under strict cGMP (21CFR part 211) standards in FDA-registered facilities. This ensures the highest level of purity and safety for applications ranging from food and beverage processing to fermentation and wastewater management.

Features:

• High-Efficiency Defoaming - Rapidly breaks existing foam and prevents the formation of new bubbles in aqueous systems
• Food Grade Certification - Meets the rigorous standards required for food-safe processing environments
• Manufactured, packaged, and stored under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) per 21CFR part 211
• Non-reactive and inert, ensuring it does not interfere with the chemical properties of your primary process liquid
• Available in sizes ranging from laboratory-scale 100 mL bottles to production-grade 4 L containers

Technical Specifications:

• Chemical Name: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Emulsion
• Applications: Fermentation, food processing, distillation, and cooling tower maintenance
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain emulsion stability

Application Insight:

In fermentation and cell culture, excessive foaming can lead to "vessel wet-out," causing filter blockage and potential contamination. Adding a small, controlled amount of Antifoam AF (typically in the parts-per-million range) ensures that the gas-liquid interface remains stable, allowing for maximum aeration without the risk of overflow.
