Anti Foaming Agent (RDF #1)
RDF #1 100% silicone compound found useful as anti-foam in many non-aqueous direct and industrial applications. RDF #1 silicone antifoam compound provides maximum foam control in highly alkaline and highly acidic systems as well as in neutral systems, and it exhibits improved efficiency and longevity over conventional antifoam compounds. RDF #1 is useful in chemical and petroleum processing.
General Properties:
Type: 100% Silicone

Directions:
RDF #1 may be used as is, or it may be diluted prior to usage. Dilution or dispersion, either in solvent or in one of the foaming ingredients, prior to use provides an excellent means of incorporating low concentrations of the silicone antifoam accurately and economically into a non-aqueous system. Such dilutions or dispersions may provide greater ease of handling and more effective use of silicone. Pre-diluted solutions should be mildly agitated before use.
Storage:
RDF #1 has excellent storage stability when stored in a cool place in a tightly closed container. It can be stored under these prescribed conditions for up to one year.
