Silicone Chemicals for PETROLEUM /
PETROCHEMICAL
|
SILCHEM SAF series of silicone based anti-foams are designed to bring foaming under control and/or from even forming in the first place. Proven to be efficient and economical the SAF Series will burst your foaming problems.
AQUEOUS:
Anti-Foam Emulsions - These anti-foam emulsions are water dispersions of polydimethylsiloxane fluids. These anti-foams have proven effective in many petroleum/petrochemical processing applications. They exhibit superior efficiency and longevity, and provide excellent defoaming in many nonionic, cationic and anionic systems.
NON-AQUEOUS ANTI-FOAMS:
Dimethyl Fluids - Easily dispersible in organic solvents for the defoaming of oil/gas separations, delayed cokers, vacuum towers units and asphalt processing.
Fluorosilicone Fluids - These fluids are typically utilized where standard dimethyl fluids have failed. Applications for defoaming aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated solvents are where fluorosilicone fluids give best results.
Anti-Foam Compounds - SAF-200 Series anti-foams are 100% silicone compounds which provide maximum foam control in highly alkaline and highly acidic systems. These anti-foams compounds exhibit excellent efficiency and longevity. SAF-200 Series anti-foams are soluble in aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated solven
