SILFAR S 188

SILFAR® S 188 is a 100% silicone antifoam agent specifically developed for the pharmaceutical and the food processing industries. It works by acting as an antifoam agent to prevent or relieve flatulence in the alimentary canal and by forming a protective lining on e.g. the gastric mucous membrane. It is often combined with fermentation preparations. When administered to patients, preparations containing the antifoam SILFAR® S 188 eliminate any flatulence that might hinder X-ray, ultrasonic or gastroscopic examinations. SILFAR® S 188 may be used to make tablets and coated tablets. SILFAR® S 188 is also antifoam in fermentation and downstream processes, such as active-ingredient extraction and solvent recovery, especially when USP/EP compliant products are mandatory. SILFAR® S 188 is readily sterilized by heat.
