The dosage of defoamers significantly impacts industrial efficiency and cost management. Chemi Tech defoamers, known for their cost-effectiveness and stability, require tailored dosage based on specific applications.
1. General Dosage Range
The typical dosage of Chemi Tech defoamers is **0.1%-0.5%** (by total system weight), adjusted by:
- System Properties**: High-viscosity or high-foam systems may require 0.3%-0.5%.
- Temperature & pH**: Harsh conditions (e.g., high temperature/extreme pH) may increase consumption. Pilot tests are recommended.
2. Industry-Specific Guidelines
1. Wastewater Treatment**: 0.05%-0.2%, ensuring biodegradability.
2. Coatings & Inks**: 0.2%-0.4%, avoiding film-forming interference.
3. Food Processing**: FDA-compliant variants with ≤0.1% dosage.
3. Chemi Tech Product Advantages
- Rapid Defoaming: Silicone-modified formula works effectively at low doses.
- Long-Term Stability: Resists temperatures up to 150°C for harsh environments.
Note: Lab testing is advised to determine precise dosage and avoid overuse.
