Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Silicone antifoam (Silicone defoamer)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-1402)
Grade: Laboratory Grade (Lab Grade). Manufactured under Kemaus laboratory quality control standards to ensure high-efficiency foam control and uniform chemical dispersion. It works effectively at very low concentrations to suppress and collapse foam structures, making it ideal for wastewater treatment models, industrial formulation research, and general chemistry procedures.
Physical Properties: Odorless or faint chemical scent, milky white viscous liquid emulsion.
Chemical Mechanism: It possesses extremely low surface tension and is insoluble in the foaming medium, allowing it to rapidly penetrate air-liquid interfaces and rupture molecular foam walls.
Key Use: Widely utilized to suppress and eliminate unwanted foam generation caused by agitation, shearing, or chemical reactions in laboratory setups. Frequently applied in environmental labs to control excessive foaming in bioreactors, fermentation tanks, or aeration model tests. Also heavily used as a specialized additive in R&D for formulating non-foaming industrial detergents, coatings, textiles, and agricultural chemicals.

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Not classified as a hazardous substance according to GHS regulations. It exhibits a highly stable and non-toxic chemical profile. Acts as a mild temporary physical eye and skin irritant.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact may cause temporary mild stinging irritation, watering, or redness due to its viscous emulsion matrix. Prolonged skin contact may cause minor stickiness or localized dryness.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Temperature-sensitive emulsion. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container in a cool, dry space at stable room temperature (between 15 to 30 degrees Celsius). Protect strictly from freezing conditions and extreme heat, as freezing will break the emulsion and cause irreversible phase separation. Agitate or shake the container well before use if it has been stored stationary for a long period.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves and safety glasses. Avoid spilling, as silicone emulsions can create extremely slippery floor surfaces.
