Chemical composition
surfactant mixture
Fields of application
Because of its working range over a wide pH scale, GREIMIN BW-1 is suitable for defoaming of various process liquids.
GREIMIN BW-1 contains no fat or oil, and is therefore also applicable where these substances would cause problems. GREIMIN BW-1 therefore is particularly suitable for use in aqueous systems.
- for defoaming of process cycle water of sorting and washing of plastics in plastics recycling
- for defoaming of process cycle water of sorting and washing in car scrap recycling
Storage behaviour
Store GREIMIN BW-1 because of the low pH in plastic containers or containers made of stainless steel.
For quality reasons, protect against cold, heat and sunlight. At temperatures below ca. 10 °C, the product will be inhomogeneous. Product that is solidified due to temperatures below the freezing point can be made liquid again by heating and homogenizing. Inhomogeneous product can be homogenized again. For prolonged storage in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 50 ° C, the product might turn yellowish.
When stored in sealed original containers at temperatures below 30 °C, GREIMIN BW-1 is storable at least one year.
Stir, pump or shake well before use.
Application
Typically, the product is used in a concentration from 0.01 to 0.05 %. In any case, suitability and dosage amount are to be determined through own practical tests on site.
In order to achieve a good distribution and low dosages, it is recommended to add GREIMIN BW-1 in an area in which the liquid that is to defoaming is well agitated.
Please do not add the predicted amount of defoamer at once, but always wait after adding a small amount for a certain time until a uniform distribution is performed with the liquid that is to defoaming. Only then assess the effect achieved and, where appropriate, add a further amount of defoamer.
