Foam formation during production and application of water-based coatings often leads to surface defects, performance degradation, and cost inefficiencies. Common challenges include bubble retention, cratering, fisheyes, and material waste. To address these, Chemi Tech has developed high-performance defoamer products tailored for water-based systems, combining precise formulation design with technical support for reliable results.
The core solution involves four steps:
1. Problem Diagnosis: Identify foam causes such as mixing processes, formulation compatibility, or application conditions;
2. Product Selection: Match Chemi Tech defoamer models based on system polarity, pH value, and application method;
3. Addition Validation: Recommend dosage at 0.1%-0.5%, dispersed during paint mixing with compatibility testing;
4. Effect Optimization: Adjust processes via dynamic defoaming and foam inhibition tests to ensure defect-free coatings.
Case Reference:
A coating manufacturer encountered film shrinkage and bubble residues in water-based wood paint. Chemi Tech recommended defoamer KM-461 at 0.3% dosage. Foam control efficiency improved by 90%, significantly enhancing surface smoothness and product pass rate.
Chemi Tech defoamers deliver rapid bubble breaking and long-term inhibition, suitable for various water-based systems including latex paints, industrial coatings, and waterproof layers. We provide end-to-end technical collaboration to help enterprises improve product quality and production efficiency.
