DISPARLON® L-1980N is silicone-free acrylic polymer surface control agent for high polarity solventborne systems. Recommended for use in polyester/melamine and urethane coatings and in unsaturated polyester applications for leveling and defoaming properties.

UNIQ®FOAM® 155S is a strong defoamer can be used for all solvent borne and solvent free coating systems, especially suitable for solvent free UV system. The additive has an immediate foam-destroying effect with very strong deaeration and does not have influence on the intercoat adhesion. At the same time, this product can improve the leveling performance. The compatibility needs to be checked, especially in clear coats.

UNIQ®FOAM® 170S is a strong anti-foam and air-release agent especially suitable for use in unsaturated polyesters, baking coatings, epoxies and acrylic/vinyl acetate combinations. The additive furthermore helps to improve the leveling.

Leveling agent with very high defoaming effect for solvent-based coatings

UNIQ®FOAM® 120S is a strong defoamer suitable for all solvent borne coating systems. It prevents the formation of foam during the manufacture and filling. The additive has an immediate foam-destroying effect and does not have influence on the intercoat adhesion. Due to the strong defoaming performances, the product is less suitable for high gloss clear coatings. Influence of transparency in clear systems should be evaluated.
