Typical Property| Chemical formula | Proprietary blend |
| Appearance | Clear golden straw liquid |
| Solubility in water at 25°C | Insoluble |
| Specific gravity | 0.850-0.925 |
| Flash point | >100°C |
Application
The liquid defoaming agent is designed to inhibit the foaming tendency of various kinds of water-based mud, including brine systems. Moreover, it helps to stabilize pump pressure by removing trapped air and gas.
Safety and Handling
For safety considerations, personal protective equipment is highly recommended and actually it is a must. Before work, please refer to the precautions illustrated in the MSDS.
Packaging and Storage
The water based defoamer is packed in 55USG steel drum.
The container should be closed, and then placed at a dry, well-ventilated area that is away from heat, sparks, flames and incompatible materials. For palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping and stacking operations, please follow safe warehousing practices.
