With superior long-lasting foam control, SAG 1572 antifoam typically can be used at lower use levels than most conventional antifoams. Another potential benefit is its ability to evenly disperse in water-based formulations and concentrates, which can help create mixtures that are highly stable in storage. An excellent foam controller across a broad pH range, SAG 1572 antifoam is an excellent choice to consider for use as a foam control agent in pesticides, during production, in packaging and in spray-tank operations.

A medium-viscosity antifoam , it can be added directly to commercial water-based systems as well as surfactant concentrates without predilution when mixed with slow to moderate agitation.

SAG 1572 antifoam also may provide high levels of performance in pesticide formulations. In shake tests, SAG 1572 antifoam demonstrated excellent performance in commercial glyphosate formulations. In addition, SAG 1572 silicone antifoam emulsion demonstrated superior durability, maintaining a superior performance level even after 60 minutes of agitation. By comparison, larger concentrations of certain standard antifoam agents started losing activity after only 15 minutes of agitation.
