THE USES OF SILICONES IN THE DAIRY AND FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES1
Keyword(s):
Silicones as new synthetic materials are rapidly becoming useful for dairy and food processing and for maintenance of plants and equipment. Silicone defoamers are acceptable for food use and are effective in concentrations of 1 to 10 parts per million. Silicone release agents of various types prevent sticking of food to paper, to baking pans or to heating coils. New silicone glass container coatings, applied at the glass factory, preserve the strength of glass to reduce breakage and speed production packing. Maintenance materials include silicones for heat stable paints, silicone electrical insulation for resistance to heat and humidity, silicone rubber for flexible seals and silicone grease for high temperature lubrication.
