Liveo^TM Antifoam M Compound is a specially formulated low volatile silicone antifoam designed for use in various medical and pharmaceutical applications requiring foam control.

It is formulated and manufactured so that the quantity of volatile, low molecular weight silicone species is minimized. This low volatility is especially advantageous in the manufacture of antiflatulent or antiflatulent/antacid tablets and other products with high temperature processing conditions. This decreased volatility will help prevent the loss of silicone species and minimize the chance for a low assay result.

Liveo^TM Antifoam M Compound may be used as an antiflatulent ingredient in antacid preparations, as a foam suppressant in pharmaceutical processes such as feimentation, maceration, percolation and mixing, and as an agent to improve the efficiency of ampoule and bottle filling when foaming is a problem.

In direct application, the height to which a foam will rise can be limited by applying Antifoam M Compound to processing equipment. For example#,the defoamer is often wiped on nozzles of bottle-filling machines to knock down foam as it rises in the neck of the bottle. Similarly, if applied to the rim of a processing container, foam overflow can be prevented.
