Foamsol Antifoam

Principle

Dimethylpolysiloxane is an inert polymer which is highly effective in foam suppression.

Bubble collapse occurs as a result of reduction of surface tension in the liquid film.

QUICK FACTS

Benefit 1

Increased kettle utilization.

Benefit 2

Increased fermenter utilization.

Benefit 3

Preservation of foam-positive proteins.

Benefit 4

Increased alpha-acid utilization.

Benefit 5

Elimination of over-foaming problems.

Benefit 6

Optimized CO2 recovery.

Benefit 7

Enhanced vessel cleaning.

Treatment Rates

2-10 ml/hl (depending on beer type and addition point)

Application

Add to wort in-line while fermenter is being filled, or directly to kettle

Protosol Beer Clarification

Protosol is a specifically selected colloidal silica sol, which promotes sedimentation of proteins and other solids from beer and wort. Protosol effectively clarifies wort and beer at very low addition rates, enabling increased throughput of your brewery without the need for investment in tank or filtration capacity.

Is not required to be listed on labels.

Does not contain animal derivatives.

Beer filterability is enhanced due to removal of solids.

Vicfine

Vicfine has a moderate effect on sensitive protein reduction. Whilst not a beer stabilizer in its own right it contributes to the action of silica gel, and compliments PVPP. During settlement of flocculated solids, foam negative factors can be entrained. Brewers regularly notice that Vicfine treated beers have improved foam stability.

Reduced cold storage time.

Improved beer haze and stability.

Less re-work.
