Frequently Asked Questions

What is silicone antifoam emulsion?

Silicone antifoam emulsion is a water-based dispersion of polydimethylsiloxane (silicone fluid) supplied for foam control. The pre-emulsified form is water-dilutable for direct dosing into aqueous systems.

What is silicone antifoam used for?

It is used to suppress and break foam in water-based process systems, for foam control in petroleum and oil/gas processing streams, and in detergent and cleaning formulations. The emulsion form allows dosing directly into aqueous lines.

What is silicone antifoam made of?

It is a dispersion of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS silicone fluid) in water, typically with emulsifiers to maintain a stable, water-dilutable emulsion. Exact composition varies by product; consult the SDS for the specific supplied grade.

How is silicone antifoam emulsion dosed?

Because it is pre-emulsified, it can be diluted in water and dosed directly into aqueous systems at the foam-prone point. Dosage depends on the system and foam load, so confirm an appropriate rate against your process and the product technical data sheet.

Can silicone antifoam emulsion be supplied in bulk?

Yes. RawSource supplies silicone antifoam emulsion in drum, tote, and IBC quantities for process, petroleum, and detergent applications. Request a bulk quote with your volume; CoA and SDS are available on request.
