Defoam-PEJ is a 100% active, specially formulated antifoam composition. It imparts low-foaming characteristics to clear, high actives, scour surfactant concentrate formulations. It will not separate from non-ionic scour surfactant concentrates that contain less than 15% water. The resulting scour concentrate, when diluted to use concentration, will be low foaming over the entire jet scour cycle. Best of all, Defoam-PEJ is free rinsing antifoam and therefore will not cause fabric spotting.

Recipe for making clear transparent low foam detergent concentrate using Defoam-PEJ
Material (qty in kgs)
- Defoam-PEJ : 1.5 – 2
- Butyl Cellusolve : 4 – 5
- Surfactants blend : 83 – 85
- Water : 10.5 - 7
___________
TOTAL : 100
Procedure:
-Take 1.5 – 2 parts of Defoam-PEJ and to it add 4-5 parts of Butyl Cellusolve & stir
for 5 mins.
-To the above blend under stirring add 83 – 85 parts of surfactants blend for 10-15
mins.
-Then add 10.5 – 7 parts of water and stir for 5-10 mins.
-Check for clarity, if clear add 1 kg of balance water and if not clear then add 0.5
to 1 kg of Butyl Cellusolve for clarity.
-It has been developed to provide a clear premix in high concentration scouring
surfactant concentrates.
-Typically, these concentrations are based on alcohol ethoxylates such as C10-15
alcohols, with 4-6 (EO).
-The typical use concentration of Defoam-PEJ in the scour surfactant concentrate is
2-5%.
-It can be used in other jet machine processes where an effective clear rinsing antifoam
in required.
Storage : Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C. Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.
Shelf Life : 9 months from the date of manufacturing, if stored under controlled conditions.
