DOW XIAMETER AFE-0300 is a 30% active food-grade silicone defoamer emulsion developed for aqueous systems. It appears as a milky-white liquid (viscosity 3,000 mPa·s) and maintains stable performance under pH 2-14 and ≤80°C conditions, breaking down micron-level foam within 30 seconds (with over 8 hours of suppression). Certified by FDA 21 CFR 175.300 and GB 9685-2016, it lowers mineral oil defoamer usage by 30% in high-sugar and high-salinity food processing systems.
Food-Grade Qualification: Complies with FDA, EU 10/2011, and GB 9685-2016 standards, with residual limits capped at ≤15 ppm to meet strict food safety requirements.
Extreme pH Adaptability: Works efficiently in pH 2-14 systems, including jam production (pH 3.5) and alkaline cleaner applications (pH 12), fitting diverse aqueous scenarios.
Fast Defoaming Performance: Nano silicone particles (with D50 of 50-150 nm) enable foam collapse within 30 seconds even at a low dosage of 10 ppm.
Eco-Friendly Safety: Free of APEO, has VOC content below 50 ppm, and meets REACH and RoHS standards, aligning with environmental protection needs.
Beverage Industry: Controls foam in carbonated drink filling lines, with a recommended dosage of 0.005%-0.02% to ensure smooth filling and prevent overflow.
Jam/Jelly Production: Eliminates viscous foam in high-Brix (>65°) concentration processes, maintaining product quality and processing efficiency.
Crop Protection: Enhances pesticide adhesion in organophosphate spray formulations, improving pest control effectiveness through better spray coverage.
Industrial Cleaners: Boosts ultrasonic cleaning efficiency in pH 10-12 systems, facilitating thorough removal of tough contaminants.
