Products in Foam Control: Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA)

Foamaster® MO NDW is a defoamer based on mineral oil, known for its exceptional product stability. It retains defoaming efficiency even after months of storage, contributing to excellent brushability and avoiding fisheyes. Its chemical nature involves a blend of mineral oils and non-ionic surfactants, making it effective in all systems based on synthetic latex.

TEGO® Antifoam 1488 is a versatile emulsion-based anti-foaming agent tailored for various applications. It effectively controls foam formation in processes like emulsion polymerization and textile sizing. With good compatibility, it finds use in diverse industrial additives, including metalworking fluids and nonwovens. This emulsion-type additive is available in drums, catering to different production scales. Its performance spans markets like adhesives and sealants, fluids and lubricants, and building materials. TEGO® Antifoam 1488's role in polymer dispersions manufacturing adds to its versatility and value.

DeCAL 5040 is a highly effective foam control agent for emulsion paints, coatings, and adhesives. The product utilizes new water-in-oil technology to deliver a cost-effective product specifically developed to reduce air entrainment during the manufacture and application of water-based paints, adhesives, and coatings.

AFCONA 2501 is a defoamer for water-based paint. It is a silicone-based defoamer containing a small amount of silicone to give better deaeration. It is recommended for all kinds of water-based coatings ranging from decorative paints to water-based printing inks.

DeCAL 5032 is designed to release bubbles and control foam generated in a wide range of aqueous systems containing surfactants. They are blends of non-ionic surfactants and hydrophobes in a highly refined mineral oil. They are non-silicone based. It is used in many applications including water-based paints, adhesives, carpet backing, paper coating, and effluent treatment.

Dfoam AX1 Antifoams are used in many aqueous-based formulations where a build-up of foam may be a problem. Many systems already contain surfactants or dispersing agents which tend to foam to a certain degree. In mechanical or agitated systems foaming can be an issue, so the incorporation of an antifoam during processing will help to significantly reduce the problem. Dfoam AX1 is designed specifically for paint formulations.

Falden 231 is a general-purpose nonionic defoamer and antifoam for aqueous paints and coatings based on proprietary, silicone-free chemistry. It provides effective foam control in flat and satin latex paints.

DENSIPOL® TA 10 is a cost-effective antifoaming agent formulated based on modified organopolysiloxanes. This specialized antifoaming agent offers multiple benefits for various applications. It is highly effective, even in high shearing conditions, providing reliable foam generation control. DENSIPOL® TA 10 is designed to maintain excellent foam control over an extended period of time, ensuring consistent performance. Additionally, it is heat-resistant, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 80°C.

EFA Chemie Defoamer 1802 is a product for use in DIY paint and adhesive production. The product has proven particularly effective with paints based on polyvinyl acetate and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Another area of ​​application is metalworking, where the defoamer 1802 can either be added directly to the cooling lubricant as an additive or used for additional dosing during the actual metalworking. Defoamer 1802 is a non-ionic preparation of mineral oils, paraffins and esters.

EFA Chemie Defoamer 1824 can be used in the production of coatings and printing inks as well as in emulsion polymerization processes. The product has proven particularly effective with paints based on polyvinyl acetate and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Another area of ​​application is metalworking, where the defoamer can either be added directly to the cooling lubricant as an additive or used for additional dosing during the actual metalworking.

ADD-2720 is a silicone-free anti-foam that supports the quick de-aeration of thermosetting resin systems so that foam and blister-free self leveling compounds and laminates can be processed. ADD-2720 demonstrates no negative influence on inter-coat adhesion when overcoated. Additionally, it acts as an air release and leveling additive. It is designed for use in coatings, printing inks and composite. If used in conjunction with ADD-5044 or ADD-5066 in pigmented compounds, lower viscosity results can be achieved, thereby aiding the air release properties.

DEFOAMER FL1 CONC. is a 100% active content, organic, non siliconic defoamer for waterborne emulsions (adhesives, paints, plasters).

Rid-O-Foam® A-4 is a 100% active nonionic type defoamer that acts fast in a wide variety of latex-based paints, coatings and adhesives. A-4 can be used in both flat and semi-gloss paints, both water-reducible and latex-based.

Defoamer for water-based paint

Gasocut Foam 191 is an effective non-ionic defoamer containing improved minerals Oils, silicon oxide derivatives and organic particles. Tests show gasocut foam 191 in most the emulsion paint formulation has strong compatibility and stability and does not cause film defects and fish eye.
