SILFOAM® SD 986

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.


Properties

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.

Specific features of SILFOAM® SD 986

  • Self-dispersing Product

The required dosage is between 2 and 100 ppm and depends mainly on the medium to be defoamed and on the process.

 

To avoid overdosage and to ensure rapid dispersion and thus high effectiveness, it is advisable to further dilute the solution.

 

SILFOAM® SD 986 is soluble in a 1:10 dilution in: kerosene, gas oil, middle distillate, white spirit, petroleum ether, chlorinated hydrocarbons, chlorofluorohydrocarbons, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone.

 

SILFOAM® SD 986 is insoluble in a 1:10 dilution in: water, alcohol, glycol, glycerine, cyclohexanone, acetone.
