Foamsol (FDC 511)

Silicone Antifoaming Agent

Foamsol is a water based emulsion of dimethylpolysiloxane designed to control foams produced in kettle and fermenter.

Dimethylpolysiloxane is an inert polymer which is highly effective in foam suppression. Bubble collapse occurs as a result of reduction of surface tension in the liquid film.

• Increased kettle utilisation
• Increased fermenter utilisation
• Preservation of foam positive proteins
• Increased alpha-acid utilisation
• Elimination of overfoaming problems
• Optimised CO2 recovery
• Enhanced vessel cleaning
