Solving Spray Booth Foam Challenges with High-Efficiency Defoamer for Water Wash Booths

In spraying operations, the water wash booth is a critical device for paint mist treatment. However, the accumulation of paint residues, surfactants, and other substances in the circulating water readily leads to excessive foam generation. This persistent foam not only overflows from the tank, contaminating the workshop environment, but also severely reduces the uniformity of the water curtain and the efficiency of paint mist capture, ultimately affecting the coating quality of workpieces and increasing cleaning frequency and production costs.

Addressing this common industry pain point, Chemi Tech, through in-depth mechanistic research, has developed a series of high-efficiency defoamers specifically designed for water wash booths. Our solution does not simply 'eliminate' existing foam but suppresses foam generation at the source and rapidly breaks down existing foam. The products offer excellent compatibility and persistence, maintaining high performance in complex systems with coexisting water conditions and chemicals.

The implementation steps are clear and convenient: First, our technical personnel will assess your site's water quality, paint type, and foam situation. Then, we will recommend a suitable defoamer product and initial dosage. During normal production, the defoamer is added directly to the circulating water system of the wash booth. Based on the foam suppression results, only periodic minor top-ups are needed to maintain long-term foam-free operation. The entire process does not affect the original production workflow or spraying results.

We assisted an automotive parts manufacturer in East China in tackling foam issues in their spraying line. The company's water wash booth previously suffered from severe foam overflow, requiring shutdown and cleaning several times per shift. After implementing our customized antifoam solution, the foam problem was significantly controlled on the same day, enabling two consecutive production shifts without overflow. The water curtain remained intact and uniform, paint mist treatment efficiency improved, the workshop environment was greatly enhanced, and water and labor waste due to shutdowns for cleaning were reduced.

Choosing Chemi Tech's high-efficiency defoamer means injecting a stabilizer into your spraying production line. We are committed to helping you overcome foam obstacles through precise chemical solutions, ensuring smooth production, and enhancing final coating quality and overall operational efficiency.
