Defoam-x

Defoam-XDEFOAM-XE: DEFOAM-X additive is a low-toxicity blend of defoaming agents formulated to control foaming in muds containing freshwater or seawater and in viscous brine systems.Typical Physical propertiesPhysical appearance- White, viscous liquidSpecific gravity- 0.95Flash point- > 400OF  (202.8OC) (PMCC)Freezing point- 20OF (28.9OC)ApplicationsDEFOAM-X is a wide-application product that reduces the foaming tendencies of water-base muds. It is compatible with freshwater muds, seawater muds, brine systems and all common mud additives. DEFOAM-X has proven to be especially effective in KCl and seawater muds. DEFOAM-X is easy to mix, works quickly, is effective in low concentrations and is a more persistent defoamer than alternative products. Normal treatments of DEFOAM-X range from 0.05 to 0.10 lb/bbl (0.14 to 0.29 kg/m3).  Severe foaming may require treatments as high as 0.2 lb/bbl (0.57 kg/m3). The use of DEFOAM-X is recommended for foam prevention when making periodic treatments with organic materials such as lignosulfonate, lignite and tannin-based additives. DEFOAM-X should be added in a location which allows the product to be incorporated into the entire circulating mud system. Although DEFOAM-X is viscous, it should not be diluted. Dilution significantly reduces the effectiveness of the product.AdvantagesEasy to mix, works quickly and is effective at low concentrations in a wider range of systemsA persistent defoameEspecially effective in KCI and seawater mud systemsAids in the removal of dissolved oxygenControls foaming in fluids viscosified with polymersHelps stabilize pump pressure by removing trapped air and gasLow-toxicity product and environmentally acceptable at the recommended concentrationsLimitationsNot effective in muds that have excessive gel strengthsToxicity and HandlingBioassay information is available upon requestHandle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described on the Transportation and Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)Packaging and Storage: DEFOAM-X is packaged in 5-gal(18.9-1) cans and 55-gal(208.2-1) drums
