It is a homogeneous, stable, easy-to-handle and cost-effective foam control agent that excels in applications with nonionic and anionic surfactants, delivering superior performance under neutral, slightly alkaline or acidic pH conditions and effectively withstanding a wide range of process pH. It comes as a homogeneous creamy white emulsi…

Product description: Silad Powder FG powdered antifoam At Quimiconsult we manufacture Silad Powder FG, a food-grade silicone-based powdered antifoam, formulated as a homogeneous, free-flowing, water-dispersible white powder. Silad Powder FG is designed to eliminate and prevent foam formation in dry applications, offering performance comparable to liquid antifoams even at low concentrations. Its powder format makes it ideal for food processes and formulations handled dry, where a liquid antifoam would be awkward to incorporate or would affect the product's consistency. It is long-lasting, stable over a wide temperature range and works in both anionic and nonionic systems. As direct manufacturers operating under a certified SQF (Safe Quality Food) quality management system, we guarantee batch-to-batch consistency, with availability from our plant in Monterrey, Nuevo León, and shipping throughout Mexico. Foam is a critical operational problem in the powdered food industry and in fermenta…

Alkaplus Base Description — Concentrated Raw Material for Manufacturing Foaming Alkaline Detergents and Degreasers in Mexico   At Quimiconsult we offer Alkaplus Base, a concentrated base for formulating a self-foaming alkaline detergent with many uses, designed so that cleaning-product manufacturers, formulators and plants with their own production can prepare a high-foam alkaline degreasing detergent that removes fatty and proteinaceous residues in the livestock and food industries, as well as on cages and livestock transport equipment. Alkaplus Base is the surfactant and functional part of the formula: it is combined with sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and water to obtain a finished foaming alkaline detergent, ready to be diluted and applied in the field.   Alkaplus Base is an amber liquid with a characteristic odor, with a density of 1.00 to 1.10 g/cc, a pH of 9.0 to 11.0 in a 1.0% solution and a high foam level.
