Antimussol® Z 70
Brand: Antimussol
Applications: Other Printing & Packaging Applications, Decorative Paints & Coatings, Decorative Paints
Product Families: Foam Control
Antimussol Z-70 is a liquid foam control agent with very low silicone content for adhesives, coatings and inks based on synthetic latex emulsions. Antimussol Z-70 is very effective during the mixing, dispersing and milling processes. Due to its components, it is easily dispersed and acts immediately to release entrapped air in foam bubbles and to prevent undesired foam built-up. It maintains its efficiency during long periods of agitation. The recommended dosage is 2.4-3.2 kg of Antimussol Z-70 for 1000 liters of paint. This amount is sufficient to control the foam efficiently.In adhesives we recommend dosages between 1-2 % of Antimussol Z-70 based on the total latex solids. This defoamer can be used as it is or as a water dispersion.

Brand: Kuraray Poval
Applications: Other Beauty & Care, Commercial Laundry, Dish Care
Product Families: Vinyl Polymers, Other Resins & Binders
Chemical Family: Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives, Polyvinyl Alcohols & Esters
Polymer Name: Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH)
End Uses: Mortar, Tile Adhesives, Textile Sizing
KURARAY POVAL™ 8-88 by Kuraray is a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) having varying degree of polymerization and hydrolysis. It is a water-soluble polymer manufactured by alcoholysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is notable for its good bonding strength and pigment binding capacity because PVAs have such good cohesion and good adhesion to fibers, fillers as well as pigments. KURARAY POVAL™ 8-88 is used in a similar manner as natural products such as casein as well as starch and its degraded derivatives (for example dextrin) as raw material for the production of aqueous adhesive solution. In comparison to dextrin and casein it has the advantage of a more uniform chemical structure and greater adhesion, being obtained with minimum raw material requirements. It features water-solubility, excellent film forming characteristics, high tensile strength and elasticity, as well as resistance against organic solvents and dispersing power. For the modification of aqueous adhesives its aqueous solution can be added to polymer emulsions already stabilized with polyvinyl alcohol which affects the extension of the open time, increase of the setting speed and influence on the rheology. It is biodegradable and recyclable. KURARAY POVAL™ 8-88 is used in producing silicon base paper that are further used as release paper for PSA labels and also in remoistenable adhesives which are employed mainly in the paper processing industry, films applications.
