Technical Details & Test Data

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: While in earlier days mainly mineral oil-based defoamers were used, today increasing emphasis is placed on sustainability. Many of our LOPON® defoamers are based on renewable raw materials which are biodegradable.

LOPON® E 81 has a percentage of renewable raw materials of 47 %.

Even more environmentally friendly is our defoamer LOPON® E 13. LOPON® E 13 has a content of 93 % of regrowing materials.

Compared to our defoamer LOPON® E 81, the effectiveness is slightly reduced but still comparable or even better than biodegradable defoamers from competitors.

All our LOPON® and TARGON® defoamers have been developed for water-based applications and are suitable for Ecolabel compliant formulations.
