PennWhite Ltd Anti-Foam and Defoaming agents control the amount of foam generated in industrial and food processes, some of which are formulated for specific applications.
Silicones provide the most effective control of foam known in many applications and can be added directly into the foaming media or blended directly into certain formulations.
The Foamdotor F2000 range is effective in hot and cold foaming systems over a wide pH range.
Due to their inertness and low toxicity, silicone antifoams are utilised in a host of food grade applications.
