FOAM BLAST® 381

Opaque Amber/Yellow Liquid

Foam Blast 381 is an efficient, non-silicone foam control agent designed to be effective in a variety of systems. The product is effective over a wide pH range (4-12) and has been found to be highly efficient in controlling and preventing foam in systems that contain high amounts of polymer or starch. Foam Blast 381 readily disperses in aqueous systems and spreads rapidly to provide quick knockdown of foam.
