What is it?
EC-1000 is a high-active liquid silicone defoamer used to reduce foam in detergent
formulations.
How to use it
It can be added after foam formation or as a foam-prevention ingredient.
It should be added in an area where it can disperse easily.
The best quantity to add should be tested in a laboratory first, but generally, it makes up
0.1-1% of the total formula amount.
What’s in it for me?
Antifoaming Performance: EC-1000 offers robust antifoaming capabilities.
This means that when added to a detergent formula, it can effectively reduce
unwanted foam, making the detergent more efficient, especially in machines
where excess foam can be a problem.
Safety and Compliance: The components of EC-1000 are not listed in the
SVHC list of the REACH Regulation, making it compliant with European
safety standards. This can be a selling point for detergents in Europe.
Efficient Use: Given its high potency, only a very small amount is needed for
effective antifoaming. This can lead to cost savings for detergent
manufacturers in the long run.
Versatility: The defoamer can be added either during or after foam formation.
This flexibility allows detergent manufacturers to adapt its use to their specific
manufacturing process.
Storage and Stability When stored correctly, EC-1000 has a shelf life of 12
months. This helps in inventory management.
Warranty and Support: SIXIN offers warranty information and encourages
customers to reach out if they face issues, suggesting they value customer
relationships and are confident in their product’s efficacy.
In conclusion, SIXIN® DEFOAMER EC-1000 offers multiple benefits for
detergent manufacturers, including its strong antifoaming capabilities, safety
compliance, and versatility in use. As with any chemical additive, proper testing
and consultation with the company are recommended before large-scale use.
