SILFOAM® SC 370
Documents
Application details
Application
SILFOAM® SC 370 is ideal for aqueous systems in which silicones would usually cause problems, e. g., the manufacture and processing of dispersions, paints and surface coatings, adhesives, cooling lubricants and textile applications. Due to its hydrolytic stability, SILFOAM® SC 370 may be used in a wide pH range.
Processing
SILFOAM® SC 370 may be added as it is at high shear rates or in the form of a dispersion. Suitable dispersing agents include ethanol, 2-propanol, and acetone.
The exact dosage of SILFOAM® SC 370 has to be determined in preliminary tests. We recommend starting with amounts between 0.02 and 0.5 %.
After extended storage or if visible separation occurs, we recommend briefly stirring the product.
As a guideline, we suggest a stirring time of 10–30 minutes at a speed of 200 rpm.
Packaging & Storage
Storage
The 'Best use before end' date of each batch is shown on the product label.
Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
