- Product Highlights
Dfoam AX1 is a silicone free antifoam that effectively prevents air entrainment, froth and foam. It coalesces minute air bubbles in the liquid, allowing them to rise easily to the surface, and promotes rapid bubble film rupture on the surface of the liquid.
Foaming is not only suppressed during manufacture, it remains suppressed during stirring and application by the consumer. Foam control is easily and effectively achieved with small percentages of DFoam AX1. This ensures an economical method of foam control. Dfoam AX1 is specifically compatible with a variety of polymer latices including styrene butyl acrylate, acrylic, PVC, styrenebutadiene and vinyl acetate, for use in paints and adhesives.
