MIN 20FG
BIO-SIL MIN/20FG is a food grade 20% active mineral oil based antifoam emulsion, ideal for antifoaming and de-foaming a wide range of aqueous systems. BIO-SIL MIN/20FG is effective at low concentrations when added to food stuffs and beverages where foam control is critical.

Common Areas of Use.
Starting Guide.
As a processing aid: For maximum de-foaming efficiency, pre-dilute BIO-SIL MIN/20FG with 3 to 5 parts of water momentarily before adding to the foaming system. For effective dilution, do not add the BIO-SIL MIN/20FG to the water but rather vice versa. In processing applications as an aid, BIO-SIL MIN/20FG in concentrations of 10 to 500 ppm can be added.
For end use: BIO-SIL MIN/20FG emulsions can be added directly from the original shipped container to the foaming system. Concentrations in the range of 0.05 to 0.5% have been determined as a good starting amount for most applications.
Please note - Testing before formulating should still be carried out as systems vary.
