Foam Control in Water-Based Inks – Chemi Tech Defoamer Solutions

In the printing industry, water-based inks are widely adopted for their eco-friendly properties and ease of use. However, foam formation often leads to print defects and reduced equipment efficiency. Chemi Tech addresses this issue with high-performance defoamers designed to eliminate existing foam and suppress re-foaming.  

Root Causes of Foam  

Foam in water-based inks stems from surfactants, mechanical agitation, and high-speed printing processes. It may cause white spots, uneven color, or missed prints, compromising final product quality.  

Advantages of Chemi Tech Defoamers  

1. Rapid Defoaming: Tailored molecular structure reduces surface tension instantly, collapsing foam.  

2. Long-Lasting Effect: Maintains activity under high temperature and shear stress, preventing foam recurrence.  

3. Excellent Compatibility: Works seamlessly with various ink formulations without affecting gloss or adhesion.  

Application Guidance  

Add 0.1%-0.5% of Chemi Tech defoamer during ink production or dilution. Dosage should be adjusted based on process conditions, with lab tests recommended for precise optimization.
