Non-Metabolisable Water Soluble, Non-toxic with Good Foam Knockdown High Anti-foam Efficiency & Long Term Foam Inhibition Odourless & Tasteless  Effective at Temperatures up to 100*C Defoam is a general purpose silicone which functions effectively both as a de-foamer and anti-foaming agent, is effective in hot or cold aqueous systems.  Economical in use and can be used either as supplied or diluted with water to the desired concentration. RAPID DISPERSION Defoam has been specially designed to disperse readily in aqueous systems and can be added either before or after foaming has started, depending upon the characteristics of the system, i.e. temperature,  degree of agitation, composition etc. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Defoam meets EPA (USA), FDA (USA), and DEFRA requirements. METHOD OF USE Photographic Processing E6 - Nitrogen Systems Paint the sides of the tank with a thin solution of Defoam above the level of processing solutions. Do not splash or drip Defoam into the processing solutions. It can cause grease spots on transparencies. Defoam can be employed in aqueous medium, neat or diluted with cold water, but if diluted it should then be used within 24 hours.  It can be added to the foaming medium on a continuous basis using a metering pump or similar type of equipment, or on demand, i.e. where and when required. It is, however, recommend that Defoam is added as received the recommended starting concentration is 100 ppm.
