AF730F
BIO-SIL AF730F is a food grade 30% emulsion of Polydimethylsiloxane excellent for antifoaming and de-foaming of most aqueous systems.
BIO-SIL AF730F is effective at low concentrations when added to food stuffs and beverages where foam control is critical.
BIO-SIL AF730F is used where more persistence than 10%, 20% antifoams and de-foamers are required.
Packaging.
Common Areas of Use.
Starting Guide.
As a processing aid: For maximum de-foaming efficiency, pre-dilute BIO-SIL AF730F with 3 to 5 parts of water momentarily before adding to the foaming system. For effective dilution, do not add the BIO-SIL AF730F to the water but rather vice versa. In processing applications as an aid, BIO-SIL AF730F in concentrations of 10 to 500 ppm can be added.
For end use: BIO-SIL AF730F emulsions can be added directly from the original shipped container to the foaming system.
Compliances.
BIO-SIL AF730F is certified Halaal and Kosher.
BIO-SIL AF730F is produced under ISO 9001, FSSC22000, ISO 14001and ISO 45000 management systems.
Complies with the FDA Code of Federal regulations Title 21 Sections:
• 173.340 – Secondary direct food additive used as defoaming agents.
• 175.105 – Indirect food additives used as a component of adhesives.
• 176.170 – Indirect food additives used as a component of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.
• 176.180 – Indirect food additives used as a component of paper and paperboard in contact with dry foods.

Meets the requirements of the Canadian Food and Drug Act, as detailed in Division 16 governing Food Additives, whereby “Dimethylpolysiloxane Formulations” are acceptable direct food additives subject to the use and restrictions stipulated under item D.1 of Table VIII “Miscellaneous Food Additives”.
Complies with the European regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 Article 3 Part 2b whereby, if used appropriately, antifoams are considered as food processing aids.
Suitable for use, in compliance with the valid restrictions, as a direct food processing aid for controlling foam during food production and processing according to Directive No 95/2/EC and the Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 regarding Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 Annexes II (amended by Regulation (EU) 1129/2011) and III (amended by Regulation (EU) 1130/2011). Complies with the German BfR Recommendation XXXVI for defoamers to be used in the production process of paper, paperboard and board that comes into contact with food.
