Product Overview
Prime Source's Defoamer Select is a silicone blend and water-based, defoamer and antifoam to be used to knock down existing foam or prevent foam formation. Eliminating or reducing the foam during the tank mixing, will allow the product to be thoroughly agitated through the mixing process and will reduce the risk of chemical spills. The issues contributing to the formation of foam consist of the pesticides being used, the viscosity and temperature of the tank mix solutions, the extent of agitation and other factors. Defoamer Select will aid in the control the foam by penetrating the foam bubbles walls, and causing the bubbles to collapse.

The Defoamer Select is a foaming control agent that is specifically formulated for greater control of tank mix foaming.
