Merck, A8011-500ML, Antifoam C Emulsion

Antifoam C emulsion is an aqueous emulsion containing 30% active silicone. This silicone-based antifoam emulsion consists of non-ionic emulsifiers different from those in antifoam emulsions B and Y-30. Antifoam C emulsion can be prediluted with 3-10 parts of cool water to aid in dispersion. Prediluted suspensions should be used immediately. Antifoam C emulsion is typically effective at 1-10 ppm. The flow properties of antifoam C emulsion are such that it can be pumped on an as-needed basis to a fermenter system with sufficient agitation to disperse the antifoam. Antifoam C emulsion can be used to regulate headspace foaming in mammalian cell culture bioreactors up to 30 ppm concentration.
