Food Processing & Fermentation

Antifoam Applications

Food Processing Antifoam

BIO-SIL AFD/500F is designed for foam control in compatible food-processing applications where a food grade, silicone-free antifoam or defoamer is required.

Its low-concentration performance makes it suitable for evaluation across a range of aqueous food-processing systems.

Fermentation Antifoam

Foam control is an important part of many fermentation processes.

BIO-SIL AFD/500F is developed for fermentation applications requiring silicone-free foam control.

At working concentrations in fermentation systems, BIO-SIL AFD/500F has no negative effect on microorganism growth levels.

This makes AFD/500F particularly suited to processes where foam needs to be controlled while maintaining the conditions required for fermentation.

Fruit & Vegetable Washing

BIO-SIL AFD/500F can be used for foam control in compatible fruit and vegetable washing applications.

Its food grade, silicone-free formulation makes it suitable for evaluation where unwanted foam develops in aqueous washing processes.

Additional Aqueous Applications

The versatility of BIO-SIL AFD/500F extends beyond food processing.

Pesticide Formulation

Suitable for selected aqueous pesticide formulations requiring antifoaming or defoaming performance.

​

Paper Manufacturing

Can be evaluated for selected paper-manufacturing applications where foam control is required.

​

Water-Based & Aqueous Systems

BIO-SIL AFD/500F is suitable for evaluation across compatible aqueous systems where a silicone-free antifoam or defoamer is required.

Application suitability should always be confirmed under the intended process conditions.
