SARASIL - JS XX
Product Information
Sarasil-JS XX is a silicone based concentrated defoamer suitable for all textile
wet processing operations, i.e. scouring, bleaching, dyeing, printing, coating, 
etc. where foam control is essential. It can be used in jets, overflow dyeing   
machines, package dyeing machines, winches, jiggers and in print paste.         
Sarasil-JS XX does not lead to any objectionable deposits on equipments or      
substrates due to its high stability. Stability of Sarasil-JS XX to alkaline pH,
high temperature and shear forces is a special advantage in scouring of cotton  
as well as reactive dyeing of cotton by exhaust process.

Emulsion can be added in scouring as well as reactive dyeing by exhaust process 
to eliminate foam.                                                              
Instructions For Dilution
Take 84 parts of DM water, add 1 part of Xanthane gum with continuous stirring  
using Turbo stirrer at 2000-3000 rpm over a period of 10 mins. Continue stirring
for further 5 mins till homogeneous paste is obtained. Add 15 parts of          
Sarasil-JS XX in the above paste with continuous stirring at 2000-3000 rpm over 
a period of 15 mins, continue stirring for further 10 mins for homogenisation.  
Finally add 0.5 parts suitable preservative if diluted emulsion is to be stored 
for longer period. In place of Xanthane gum, high viscosity CMC can be used.    
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.
