SILFOAM® SD 986 is a low viscous antifoam solution containing a low proportion of a highly viscous silicone fluid. The dimethylpolysiloxane contained in SILFOAM® SD 986 has a strong defoaming effect in numerous mineral oil products as well as in other non-aqueous systems, due to its low surface tension and good spreading ability. Application: SILFOAM® SD 986 can be used in a variety of different applications, e. g. in applications in the oil field (crude oil / natural gas separators), in refinery processes (visbreaking, coking), in foaming distillation processes and in other foaming, non-aqueous formulations. Often, just a few ppm of SILFOAM® SD 986 will be sufficient for effective foam destruction. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
