Emerald
Performance Materials group manufacture ingredients
and chemicals. Hawkins Watts deals with the Foam Control division,
which focusses solely on speciality antifoams and processing
aids.
As
minor ingredients, little attention is often paid to products such
as antifoams, especially with respect to quality and food safety.
One unique feature of the Emerald range of antifoams is that they
are manufactured in a dedicated food-only facility, eliminating
the risk of cross contamination with non-food grade material.
In addition Emeralds’ Cheyenne site in Wyoming USA has
been HACCP certified since 2004, followed by several years
of AIB 'Superior'audit rating before attaining
the AIBI HACCP Gold accreditation in 2010.
As well as offering products from an auditable production facility, Emerald offers
a comprehensive range of Antifoams, choices including silicon-based and non-silicon-based
products. While silicon-based antifoams are generally more cost effective, the
maximum allowable dose is usually restricted by legislation.
Emerald also offer
a full range of non-silicon-based products, many of which have been designed
for particular applications such as fruit, potato and dairy processing, right
through to pharmaceutical and fermentation applications.
Emerald are also one of the few companies to offer antifoams which meet the organic
standards of the US Washington State Dept. of Agriculture. Most products
are also kosher and Halal certified.
There are several factors in providing
the correct recommendation for a specific antifoam, so for assistance
please contact Stuart Jones. |
