Applications
The pharmaceutical industry utilizes Afra®9030,
Activated Dimethyl Silicone Emulsion (Simethicone)
for Antiflatulent Oral Liquid & Tablets, Defoaming
in Fermentation, Maceration & Mixing process,
Antibiotic production and Ampoule/ bottle filling
operations.
The industrial applications include defoaming in
Dyeing of textiles, production of aqueous Paints
and Varnish, Adhesives, Soaps, Cosmetics, Rubber
latex items etc.
Method of use
Afra®9030, Activated Dimethyl Silicone Emulsion
(Simethicone Emulsion) is a highly effective defoamer/
antifoam. It is mostly used in aqueous systems and
diluted with water prior to use. Evaluation of defoaming
effectiveness should be started at 10ppm Silicone
contents and adjusted according to results.
Afra®9610,
Activated Dimethyl Silicone Emulsion is a water
dispersable form of a polydimethylsiloxane and silicone
dioxide mixture (simethicone). The chemically inert
nature of this product facilitates its use as a
defoamer/ antifoam in Textile, Paint and Varnish,
Paper, Food, Beverage, Cosmetics and Chemical processing.

Applications
The pharmaceutical industry utilizes Afra
®955,
Activated Dimethyl Silicone Compound (Simethicone)
for Antiflatulent Oral Liquid & Tablets, Defoaming
in Fermentation, Maceration & Mixing process,
Antibiotic production and Ampoule/ bottle filling
operations.
The industrial applications include defoaming in Edible
oil processing, production of Paints and Varnish,
Adhesives, Soaps, Cosmetics, Rubber latex items etc.
It is also used in the petroleum industry as an antifoam
in the production of Lubricants, Petroleum pitch and
in Gas scrubbing process.
Method of use
Afra®955, Activated Dimethyl Silicone Compound
(Simethicone) is a highly effective defoamer/ antifoam.
It is mostly used in non-aqueous systems and diluted
with aromatic, aliphatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons
prior to use. Typical solvents for dilution are
toluene, xylene, mineral spirits, hexane, heptane,
naphtha, methylene chloride etc. Evaluation of defoaming
effectiveness should be started at 10ppm Silicone
contents and adjusted according to results.
