Specialty antifoam & defoaming agents for coatings, inks, adhesives, pulp & paper, and wastewater treatment.
Our defoaming agents are formulated to quickly remove and prevent foam across a wide range of systems — waterborne paints, solventborne coatings, printing inks, adhesives, pulp & paper processes and industrial wastewater. We supply silicone-based, mineral oil, polyether and non-silicone biodegradable defoamers tailored to each application.
Pack sizes: 10kg / 25kg / 200kg drums / IBC
Our technical service team can recommend the best defoamer and dosage for your process. Pilot trials and custom blends available.
defoamer (or antifoam) is a material that causes existing foam to collapse and prevents foam formation. Some products act rapidly to knock down foam, others provide long-term prevention.
Choose a defoamer that is compatible with your resin and additives, is low-odor and non-staining, and performs at the intended pH and shear conditions. Waterborne-friendly polyether or non-silicone emulsions are commonly used.
Silicone defoamers are very effective but can cause surface defects in some high-gloss systems if overdosed. Use at the minimum effective dose and prefer specially treated silicone grades for sensitive finishes.
Start with a small trial dose (typically 0.01–0.2% w/w depending on product and system) and run scale-up trials. Overdosing can cause defects or performance loss.
