Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Ink & Toner Type
- Use Level
- 0.1 - 1%
- Fields of Application
Due to its chemical structure SPACTIVE GA 1010 is particularly recommended for use in mill base.
As alternative defoamer with higher activity we recommmend SPACTIVE GA 5070.
Preferred fields of application:- Printing inks and overprint varnishes
- Pigment grinding
- Recommendation for Use
- We generally recommend a dosage of 0.1 - 1.0 % calculated on the total formulation.
- The optimum dosage has to be determined through preliminary tests.
- The defoamer is suitable for use in formulations where high shear forces are applied.
