Non-Silicone Defoamers for Food Processing
C-2220
C-2220 is a water-based, non-silicone, food-grade emulsion designed to control foam in aqueous systems where the presence of silicone is not desired or cannot be tolerated. Widely used in many non-food-grade industrial applications, (for example, to suppress foam formation in o/w emulsions) C-2220 finds utility beyond, and is not limited to, the food industry. TRANS-220, an oil-in-water emulsion of a fine grade of white mineral oil conforming to 21 CFR 172.878, utilizes only food-grade, nonionic emulsifiers and contains only ingredients that are recognized by qualified experts as safe in food products according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 173.340. It may therefore be safely used as a direct food additive in an amount not to exceed that reasonably required to inhibit foaming in specific applications such as wash water for sliced potatoes, and for the processing of beet sugar and yeast. As a food processing aid, C-2220 is considered a ‘secondary direct food additive’ and imparts no flavor, odor, or functional attributes to the food. C-2220 is also widely used as an indirect food additive for the manufacture of articles or components of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food; and is approved for the manufacture of paper and paperboard per 21 CFR 176.170, 176.180, and 176.210. Consult the Code of Federal Regulations for further clarification on antifoam usage in your particular food-grade application.
C-20FG2
C-20FG2 is a water-based, non-silicone, food-grade emulsion designed to control foam in aqueous food-canning processes where the presence of silicone is not desired or cannot be tolerated. C-20FG2 disperses readily when added to an aqueous system, yet possesses slight insolubility to control excessive foam. When used in sufficient but not excessive quantities, C-20FG2 should in no way alter the taste of food products.
C-2280
C-2280 is a non-aqueous, silicone-free defoamer utilizing defoaming polymers and biodegradable oils to deliver outstanding foam-combative performance in many different applications, including both water-based and oil-based systems. The functional properties developed especially for C-2280 to eliminate and prevent excessive foam include very quick dispersibility in aqueous media and a high degree of spreadability in the foaming system. Trans-280 contains only ingredients that are recognized by qualified experts as safe in food products according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 173.340, and may therefore be safely used as a direct food additive limited to the processing of beet sugar and yeast. TRANS-280 also adheres to the following FDA regulations: 21 CFR 175.105 for adhesives; 21 CFR 176.210 for the manufacture of paper and paperboard; 21 CFR 176.200 and 175.300 for coatings; and 21 CFR 178.3120 for animal glue. C-2280 possesses good stability and long-lasting efficacy in oil-based hydraulic and metalworking fluids, performs well in fermentation systems, finds utility in industrial wastewater applications, and functions as a more-highly water-dispersible alternative for systems reliant upon traditional block copolymer/polyol defoamers.
C-4800 and C-4804
C-4800 /4804 is a 100% active, food-grade, kosher defoamer designed to destroy foam in aqueous environments, especially those food manufacturing, fermentation, agricultural and industrial-grade processes where the presence of silicone is not desired or cannot be tolerated. C-4800 contains no silicone and no mineral oils.
C-4800 /4804 contains only ingredients that are recognized by qualified experts as safe in food products according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, part 173.340. Because of its GRAS status, it may therefore be safely used as a direct food additive in an amount not to exceed that reasonably required to inhibit foaming in most food applications. When used in sufficient but not excessive quantities, C-4800 /4804 should not alter the taste or odor of food products.
C-4800 /4804 may also find utility as an indirect food additive for the manufacture of articles or components of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food; and is approved for the following regulations: 21 CFR 175.105, 175.320, 176.170, 176.200, 176.210, 177.1200, 177.2260, 177.2800, 178.3910. Please consult the Code of Federal Regulations for further clarification on defoamer usage in your particular food-grade application.
