Silwet™ DA-40 Performance Additive
INCREASED WATER DRAINAGE, DIOXIN FREE
Silwet DA-40 performance additive is compositionally compliant with certain FDA regulations, so it can be considered for use to improve the dispersion and efficiency of formulated defoamer actives and to improve the performance of brown stock pulp defoamers used in the manufacture of paper and paperboard for indirect food contact. It can enhance pulp drainage by significantly reducing entrained air and associated foam - all without contributing to the formation of harmful dioxins.
