REDIFINING DEFOAMER SELECTION

Recent shifts in raw materials and tightening regulations have transformed how formulators approach defoamer selection. Traditional “commodity” products – while economical- often struggle to address the evolving demands of the coatings industry, especially when facing stricter guidelines like APEO-free formulations or FDA/BfR compliance. This gap becomes even more critical when production efficiency and end-product quality hinge on robust foam control.

WHY SPECIAL MATTERS?

  • Specialty defoamers effectively address macro- and micro-foam, providing consistent results under varied shear, temperature and resistance times.
  • They meet modern sustainability requirements by reducing VOCs and complying with stricter environmetal standards.
  • As a result, they maintain performance while minimizing rework, downtime, and defects- all of which affect the bottom line.

MEETING FCA (Food Contact Additives) & Other Regulations

  • As regulations become more comprehensive, specialty defoamers offer a proactive approach to compliance, helping manufacturers avoid reformulation hurdles and maintain a competitive edge.
  • They also adapt to new raw materials trends in coatings, ensuring performance without compromising safety or sustainability.

YOUR PATH FORWARD

  • Upgrading form commodity to specialty defoamers is a strategic move that balances cost, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
  • Our next-generation solutions adapt to an evolving industry, ensuring high-quality, compliant formulations,

 

Des améliorations, même mineures, du contrôle de la mousse peuvent entraîner des économies significatives en réduisant les déchets de produits, les temps d’arrêt de la production et les défauts de surface. Les tensioactifs sont spécifiques à un système, tout comme les antimousses, car les « antimousses » contrôlent la mousse générée par les tensioactifs !

 

UNLEASH THE POTENTIAL OF OUR DEFOAMERS

Our advanced defoamers excel in a wide range of coatings, from high-performance industrial finishes to decorative paints. By targeting both micro and macro foam, they streamline your production process, reduce waste, and elevate end-product quality-all while meeting the latest environmental standards.

APPLICATION TIPS

  1. Stage of Incorporation. Add the defoamer at multiple points if persistent foam is a concern, add 2/3 of defoamer dossage at grinding stage.
  2. Testing & Validation. Firstly, test defoamer’s dispersibility in water then adjust its dossage to suit the designed paint characteristics.
  3. Expert Support. Our technical team is available to help you customize the optimal defoamer strategy for your specific system.
