Silicone Defoamer Beats Down Foam ...Defeats High Maintenance Cost The chief engineer of a southern chemical plant periodically met real bugbears—foam boil-overs in a methanol-wood oil fractional distillation system. Such occurences meant shutting down the still, while over 600 man hours were spent putting the unit back in condition. That was before testing silicone defoamers. Now, foam's completely eliminated simply by adding only 5 parts per million of Dow Corning Antifoam A. Boil-over clean-up man hours are nil. The chief engineer champions this silicone defoamer as the most effective system — says, "Without it, I'd simply go crazy." If foam is fouling up your processing, putting you behind schedule and leaving you with too high a ratio of waste material, chances are you can lick foam once and for all — realize noteworthy savings through the use of Dow Corning silicone defoamers. Easy to use and economical, these silicone defoamers are widely used to overcome foam problems in processing varnish, paints, adhesives, asphalt, textile dyes, petrochemicals, foods and many other products.
