Alinea WBS 30 is a 30% active water based defoamer/antifoam emulsion. Alinea WBS 30 does not contain mineral oil, ethylene bisstearamide (EBS) or fatty alcohol particulates which can lead to deposition or equipment fouling issues.
Appearance………………..white liquid
pH……………………………..7 -10
% Solids…………………….30
Solubility……………………dispersible in water
Alinea WBS 30 acts primarily as an antifoam agent and drainage aid and can be added at various stages during the paper manufacturing process. Alinea WBS 30 is mainly applied to the wet end of paper machines, but can also be effective in bleaching and effluent treatment operations.
Alinea WBS 30 is made from ingredients that comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 176.210.
Alinea WBS 30 also has application for other industrial processes as a defoamer/antifoam when use of water based products are undesirable.
Alinea WBS 30 is generally used neat.
However, if a lower solids level is desired, dilution with water. Is possible.The diluted emulsion, however, should be
used immediately. If extended storage time is needed for a dilution of Alinea WBS 30, it is recommended to use a thickener (rheological stabilizer) to prevent separation of the dilution and a preservative to prevent microbiological activity.
The target viscosity of the dilution should be in the following range: 800 to 2000 centipoise. (final viscosity is always dependent on the application and handling requirements of the end use product).
Product dilutions exhibiting separation can generally be remixed and used without loss of performance.
