The defoamer focuses on a minimized environmental impact and a maximized handprint by enabling formulators to develop high-performance and low-VOC, environmentally friendly waterborne formulations. It does not contain biocides, nor does it require SVHC labeling, and can be used in formulations complying with current standards.
A new range of ecological anti-foams has been developed as an alternative to mineral oil based anti-foams, showing an equal or better anti-foaming performance for applications in architectural paint formulations.
This second article in our four-part series about additives discusses foam control agents, including defoamers, anti-foams and air release agents (deaerators), and some things to consider to help your formulation be both efficient and persistent.
Offering a unique combination of effectiveness and compatibility for printing inks, TEGO® Foamex 852 is a siloxane-based defoamer for waterborne formulations.
Using the right defoamer will lead to many desired effects in the final coating performance. First and foremost, the foam will be eliminated and the appearance will be at its best. There are also additional benefits.
A high-performance waterborne defoamer for industrial coatings and inks, DAPRO DF 696 is suitable for the grinding stage, and shows excellent anti-foaming and defoaming performance.
