Antifoam 204
Title
Antifoam 204
Antifoam function as an effective foam suppressor. Antifoam 204 contains 100% active components and is a mixture of organic non-silicone polypropylene-based polyether dispersions. It does not contain mineral oil. Antifoam 204 can itself be considered a surfactant, but it contains no other surfactants. This product is synthetic and not derived from animal or plant sources. Antifoam 204 can be sterilized repeatedly. The flow properties of Antifoam 204 are such that it can be pumped to a fermenter on an as-needed basis. For use in microbiological media, Sigma recommends a starting concentration of between 0.005% and 0.01%.
Field Note
Note
Mechanism of foam breakage by a defoamer. This inolves spreading of an water-insoluble surfacatant on the bubble surfaces.
RXSOL-16-2066-025 is antifoam emulsion and its more concentrated antifoam emulsion. It has excellent candidates for controlling foam in amine and glycol dehydration units. This is suitable products for gas plants and have excellent stability in the presence of salts, resulting in reduced deposits on the plant’s equipment. RXSOL-16-2066-025 help preserve foam control under the severe conditions of a dehydrating unit. These conditions can remove water from other antifoam emulsions, rendering them immediately inactive.
Application
Antifoam 204 has been used:
- To suppress bubbling in thylakoid solutions during intramembrane isoprene quantification
- as a component of fed-batch continuous culture fermentation medium
- To suppress severe foaming in fermenter
