Technical Details & Test Data
- Study of Defoamer Effect
- Our LOPON® defoamers show a high level of effectiveness when used at low dosage levels.
- For a comparable defoamer effect, a lower dosage of LOPON® E 81 is usually necessary when compared to a traditional mineral oil defoamer.
- LOPON® E 81 is quite versatile due to its wide range of effects.
- In addition to our liquid defoamers we also offer a powdery defoamer for use in powder systems.
Exterior paint: With a dosage of only 0.1 % LOPON® E 81, a comparable effect is achieved as with 0.3 % of a conventional mineral oil defoamer.
Effectivity of LOPON® E 81 in different binders: density in g / 100 ml of emulsion paint.
- 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.
