- Handling
TEGO® Antifoam 2460 should be applied as delivered, pre-dilution is not recommended since it does not form stable emulsions without stirring.. If a pre-dilution of TEGO® Antifoam 2460 in water is required, however, we recommend to produce the dilution shortly before application by using an inline mixing device.
