| Characteristics | Inverse solubility - an increase in the temperature of an aqueous system causes a decrease in solubility of the UCON Antifoam. At or above the cloud point (the initial effective temperature), the UCON Antifoam separates from solution and acts as an extremely effective defoamer. Reduction of the system temperature below the cloud point enables the UCON Antifoam to again become solubilized. |
