🌊 Activ8 AE FoamGuard Wastewater Anti-Foam Solution

Silicone-Based Defoaming Agent for Industrial Wastewater Control

Overview
Activ8 AE FoamGuard Wastewater Anti-Foam Solution is a concentrated, silicone-based defoamer formulated to eliminate and prevent foam formation in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment systems. The water-based formulation reduces surface tension, rapidly collapsing existing foam while leaving residual active components that help prevent re-foaming and scum blanket formation.

It is commonly used in sewage treatment plants, textile mills, food processing facilities, and detergent-handling operations where foam caused by surfactants, organic materials, or biological activity interferes with treatment efficiency. The product performs consistently across a wide pH range, supports continuous dosing programs, and helps maintain stable, manageable wastewater processes.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What does Activ8 AE FoamGuard Wastewater Anti-Foam Solution do?
It rapidly collapses foam and helps prevent re-foaming in wastewater treatment systems.

What causes foam in wastewater systems?
Foam is commonly caused by detergents, surfactants, organic materials, and biological activity in the waste stream.

Can it be used continuously?
Yes. It is designed for continuous drip-feed or metered dosing programs.

Does it work across different pH levels?
Yes. The formulation remains effective across a broad pH range.

Is it safe for wastewater treatment processes?
When used as directed, it is non-polluting and compatible with standard wastewater treatment operations.

🧪 Active Ingredient(s) or Core Composition
• Water – Carrier for controlled dilution and application
• Polydimethylsiloxane – Silicone-based defoaming agent that reduces surface tension
• Proprietary Components – Enhance foam suppression efficiency
• Triethanolamine – Emulsifier for uniform dispersion
• DMDM Hydantoin – Preservative that supports product stability

📌 Directions for Use (Summary)
For best results, drip-feed into the influent stream prior to foam formation.
Typical application rates are 1 quart to 1 gallon per 10,000 gallons of wastewater, depending on foam severity.
For heavy scum blankets, a light surface spray may be used initially, followed by continuous influent dosing.
Always adjust dosage based on system conditions.
