------------ ---------
Silicone free Freedom from silicone spots &
value loss
Versatile Can be added in pretreatment, dyeing
and printing
Nonionic Good compatibility with existing
recipes
|
| General Characteristics |
Physical appearance : Straw white to light amber viscous liquid.
Ionic Nature : Nonionic
pH of 1% solution : 6 +/- 1
Miscibility : Miscible in water, gives whitish emulsion
Compatibility : Compatible with anionic, cationic and
non-ionic products.
Stability : Stable to dilute acids, dilute alkalies.
Saradefoam has a tendency to separate on
standing. Kindly stir well before use.
|
| Application |
0.5-1 g/l Saradefoam can be added in the bath to supress the foam generated
during the process.
Saradefoam has excellent bath stability and compatibility with all ingredients
in dyeing and printing.
It also eliminates foam build-up during cooling down phase on HT jet and
overflow machines.
NOTE: Please prepare 10% emulsion of Saradefoam and add to the machine under
constant stirring. If 10% stock emulsion is made, it may show separation
therefore stock emulsion is to be kept under constant stirring. On stirring
emulsion homogenises without loosing its efficiency.
|
| Instructions For Dilution |
Add gradually 10 parts of Saradefoam to DM water at 25-30 deg.C, pH adjusted to 5-5.5 using acetic acid. Use Impeller type stirrer at 30-50 rpm. Diluted emulsion of Saradefoam is kept under constant stirring to avoid separation. If any separation is noticed in stock solution of diluted Saradefoam, stir again for homogenisation and use as a defoamer in processing. |
| Precautions |
Storage Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C. Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture. Shelf Life 6 months from the date of manufacturing, if stored under controlled conditions. |
