English term or phrase: 100% actives silicone fluid
Estoy traduciendos unas hojas técnicas de un producto antiespumante para la industria petrolera:

"xxx silicone antifoam is a clear, **100% actives silicone fluid**, which is designed as an industrial antifoam for non-aqueous systems. It is an excellent candidate to consider for crude oil foam control applications, especially gas-oil separator systems where it may provide reliable antifoaming and defoaming effects."

Mi problema es "actives" en plural.

silicona líquida...

¿Alguien entiende a qué se refiere?

Muchas gracias por adelantado

Reference information:
Yes, presumably it's a typo:

100% active silicone fluid containing a suspension of finely powdered silica to enhance its defoaming efficiency.
