DISPARLON® AQ-7533N is a general purpose defoaming/anti-popping agent based on a blend of vinyl copolymer, surfactant and hydrocarbons for waterborne systems, designed to disperse uniformly in the paint.

DEE FO® PI-320 is a 3-Dimensional Siloxane compound defoamer designed for aqueous printing inks.Applications in Corrugated printing inks, Flexible packaging inks, Film and foil printing inks, OPVs and clear coatings, Wood coatings and top coats, Industrial spray coatings, Direct-to-metal applications and High gloss architectural coatings

ADD-3777 is a silicone-free additive having high molecular weight and very broad compatibility. It is designed to reduce the surface tension of various resin systems at substrate interface, which will improve substrate wetting and leveling and prevent formation of craters without stabilizing foam. The additive provides “long wave” leveling performance and increases gloss of the coating system and does not cause any inter-coat adhesion problems. It is highly effective in the transportation coatings when combined with the silicone-based additive ADD-3031. ADD-3777 is suitable for coatings and printing inks.

DEE FO PI-547 is a universal oil free product designed for use in many industries including PVOH adhesives, high solids content coatings and printing ink. Aqueous ink systems include flexible film, OPV and metallic.

AGITAN® 5292 is a potent 3-Dimensional Siloxane compound defoamer designed to provide persistent foam control in high shear coatings and ink applications.

ADD-2504 is a high performance liquid defoamer for aqueos coating and ink formulations. It is very suitable for food packaging inks, coatings & varnishes. ADD-2504 fulfill the Swiss Ordinance requirements, all ingredients used are listed in Part A of Annex 6.

DEE FO 725E is a multi-purpose printing ink and general coatings defoamer with good dispersibility and persistence. Incorporation can be during application and as a press side foam reducer especially when rapid foam knockdown during recirculation is essential.

Defoamer for solvent borne coating systems. BLISTER FREE 66 is especially suitable in polyesters, polyurethanes and acrylic systems. BLISTER FREE 66 can be used as a defoaming additive in nearly all solvent borne coating systems.

AGITAN DF 311 M is a defoamer for all common solvent based systems. It provides the following properties: Controls foaming and aeration during paint manufacture, filling and application; Low viscosity for easy dispersibility; Good compatibility in a wide range of solvent-borne systems; Long lasting efficiency.

A unique new technology defoamer providing an excellent combination of defoaming performance and error-free substrate wetting in OPV and most printing ink applications. Specifically effective in corrugated, packaging, envelope, film and foil, and news ink formulations.

CLiQSMART 1051is apolysiloxane emulsion based defoamer for aqueous systems. The highly efficient defoamer can be used in a broad range of aqueous systems and is typically applied in gloss pigmented and clear coatings, inks and overprint varnishes.

CLiQSMART AP is ahighly efficient defoamer for solvent-free and solvent-borne systems. The silicone-free polymeric defoamer prevents foam formation during production and application.

ADD-2021 is a silicone-free defoamer with leveling properties for various solvent-based resin systems. ADD-2021 functions well during the application of paints and lacquers, and also prevents the entrapment of air during processing steps such as stirring and pumping. ADD-2021 can be used in coatings and printing inks.

ADD-2525 is a highly compatible silicone-based foam control additive specially formulated in emulsion form. It is particularly designed for water- and glycol-based pigment concentrates and universal colorants as well as water-based inks. ADD-2525 also finds use in low-PVC emulsion paints (glossy) and water-based clear varnishes.
