Application
The liquid defoaming agent is designed to inhibit the foaming tendency of various kinds of water-based mud, including brine systems. Moreover, it helps to stabilize pump pressure by removing trapped air and gas.
Safety and Handling
For safety considerations, personal protective equipment is highly recommended and actually it is a must. Before work, please refer to the precautions illustrated in the MSDS.
