Processing Information
SCHWEGO foam 8013 can be mixed with pigments/fillers under high shear. Therefore, uniform distribution and good defoaming during subsequent processing is obtained.SCHWEGO foam 8013 does not need to be diluted. However, it is recommendable to predilute the defoamer, if a fast dispersion is to be achieved and if the system is only to be stirred in a moderate way. Depending on system it may be advantageous to add 1/3 of the defoamer to the mill base and 2/3 to the let down provided a homogeneous distribution. The dosage is 0.1 - 0.3 % of SCHWEGO foam 8013, calculated on total formulation. If required the amount can be increased to 1.0 %.
