DeCAL 5018 is an excellent foam control agent for many aqueous systems, including water-based paints, adhesives, and polymer latex systems. It contains mineral oil, silica, and surfactants. DeCAL 5018 is used very successfully in water-based paints, paper coatings, polymer latices, and adhesives. It is effective over a wide range of pH and temperatures. In emulsion paint systems, we recommend adding half to the pigment grind and the balance to the final blending.
