The Challenge of Foam in Coatings
Evolving raw materials and increasingly stringent regulations—such as the elimination of APEOs and reduction of VOCs—demand a shift from traditional, commodity defoamers. Without proper foam control, you risk:
- Adhesion Loss & Color Inconsistencies: Imperfections that affect the final finish.
- Production Inefficiencies: Increased waste, downtime, and defects in packaging.
- Costly Reworks: Uncontrolled foam leads to higher operating costs.
