Introduction:
Simethicone Oil is a silicone-based compound composed primarily of Dimethicone and silica. It is a physiologically inert, non-toxic, and non-foaming material widely recognized for its excellent antifoaming and gas-reducing properties. Known for its stability and safety, Simethicone Oil is commonly used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic formulations to control and reduce foam generation while providing smooth and uniform texture.
Applications:
Pharmaceutical formulations as an anti-foaming and anti-flatulent agent
Food processing industries to control foam formation
Cosmetic and personal care products for smooth texture and spreadability
Industrial processes where foam control is essential
Medical and healthcare applications in oral suspensions and antacid preparations
Benefits:
Excellent foam control and gas dispersion properties
Non-toxic, physiologically inert, and safe for human use
Chemically stable under a wide range of conditions
Improves product appearance and consistency
Provides smooth, silky feel in topical formulations
Effective even at low concentrations
Compatible with various formulation systems

In medical and pharmaceutical applications, the requirements for this chemically inert silicone defoamer is unique and exacting.
How To Use:
Amount is effective in very low concentrations. 1 to 50 gms per ton of foamer are sufficient to suppress most foam. For any new industrial application, the user may start with a concentration of 20 gms per ton, then increase or decrease this concentration until most economical use level, is established.Direct Application As Supplied:
In some applications, it may be wiped on process equipment to limit foaming level. In bottle filling machine, it is applied to the nozzles to knock down foam as it rises in the neck of the bottle, Similarly, a wiped on a application on the rim of processing vats prevents foam overflows. It may be wiped on a screen, which is then suspended over the surface of the foamer. Whenever the foam rises too high, it contacts the screen and is broken.Solvent Dispersion:
In most industrial applications, it is diluted with solvent, then added to foamier; dispersions may be made in Butyl Alcohol, Toluene, Xylem, Kerosene, Ethyl Ether, Chloroform and many other Solvents. Comparative tests using different diluents should be run if it is desirable to determine the most suitable and economical diluent to use for any particular process or product. Freshly prepared dispersion should be used for maximum efficiency.
