    Diluting the Antifoam

    Antifoam 8820FG is readily dispersible in warm or cold water with gentle agitation. For best results, mix one part of antifoam with 2-12 parts sterilized water or other diluent and stir gently until completely mixed. If it is necessary to store the diluted material, continuous mild agitation is recommended to ensure uniform product.

    Storage and Handling Conditions
    • Antifoam 8820FG exhibits excellent storage stability when proper handling procedures are followed. As with most emulsions, storage in a cool, dry place (60-75°F) in tightly-closed containers will provide maximum shelf life. Under these conditions, shelf life is 12 months minimum. Product should be protected from freezing.
    • Repeated freezing may damage container and may cause thickening or separation of emulsion. If freezing occurs, allow to thaw, mix thoroughly and use the emulsion as usual
