Key specifications and technical properties of Fuel Anti-Foam Agents and Fuel Systems:
Size: Typically available in liquid form with container sizes ranging from 1-liter bottles to bulk drums (200L).
Grade: Aviation-grade (e.g., MIL-A-8243) or automotive-grade (e.g., ASTM D4171).
Viscosity: Low to medium viscosity (5–50 cSt at 40°C) for easy dispersion in fuel.
Buoyancy: Non-buoyant; designed to mix uniformly with fuel without separation.
Material: Silicone-based polymers (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane) or organic polyglycols.
Dosage: Typically 1–10 ppm (parts per million) in fuel systems.
Operating Temperature: -40°C to 150°C for aviation and industrial applications.
Compatibility: Compatible with jet fuels (JP-8, Jet A-1), diesel, and gasoline.
Flash Point: >100°C to ensure safety in fuel handling.
Density: 0.85–1.1 g/cm³, similar to hydrocarbon fuels.
Chemical Stability: Resistant to oxidation and degradation in fuel systems.
