- Features
- Excellent defoamer
- Effective in a wide range of aqueous and non-aqueous systems
- Performs well at very low concentrations
- Helps with process productivity
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Applications
- Very successfully eliminates foam in the production of inks and pigment dispersions
- Matt, silk, and gloss paints
- Solvent-based and solvent-free wood coatings and varnishes
- Wide range of aqueous and non-aqueous systems
- Dosage
- Borchi® Burst DFS 500 is usually added as received. It should be added in pigment grind or early on in the process to ensure the product is well incorporated. A typical addition level would be between 0.1% and 0.5% in total depending on the severity of the foam problem. The optimum quantity and points of addition are determined by laboratory trials.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Efficacy Studies
High-performance defoaming across multiple substrates and applications.
Borchi® Burst 500 and 300 eliminate both micro and macro air bubbles upon different methods of application and across multiple resins.
Excellent compatibility and robustness across multiple resins and coating technologies
Compatibility compares the number of film defects observed after applying paint on a glass plate (wet film: 100-150 pm) and visually comparing it to a blank sample (without defoamer).
No loss of efficiency with Borchi® Burst 500 over time at 50°C for 4 weeks in a high quality 100% acrylic formula.
