In paint spraying operations, the circulating water system plays a key role in capturing paint mist and particles. However, in this process, paint residue, penetration of additives, etc., often lead to the generation of large amounts of foam. Foam accumulation not only occupies tank space and reduces water treatment efficiency, but may also affect the paint mist capture effect, leading to unstable paint spraying quality and even causing equipment operation failures. This has become a stubborn trouble faced by many paint spray booths.


In response to this pain point, Chemi Tech developed a high-efficiency defoamer dedicated to water treatment in paint spray booths. This product is designed for the complex chemical composition in circulating water, can quickly penetrate the foam structure, destroy its stability, and prompt the foam to dissipate rapidly. Its addition will not affect the original paint mist capture capability of the water body, while effectively preventing foam from regenerating, keeping the water body clear and stable for a long time.


The solution steps are clear and straightforward: first, evaluate the current status of the circulating water system to determine the frequency and severity of foam generation. Second, based on the water quality and foam characteristics, select the corresponding model of Chemi Tech defoamer. The third step is to add the defoamer directly into the circulating water tank or introduce it into the water flow by dripping, according to the recommended dosage. Usually, a rapid reduction in foam can be seen after the initial addition. Finally, establish a regular monitoring and maintenance addition mechanism to cope with changes under different production loads and ensure long-term stability.


We once served a factory specializing in metal surface treatment. The foam problem in the circulating water system of this factory paint spray booth was prominent, requiring manual foam cleaning every two hours, seriously affecting continuous operation. After introducing the Chemi Tech defoamer, a significant reduction in foam was observed within 30 minutes of the first addition. Subsequently, with maintenance addition once a week, the system ran continuously for two months, the foam problem was basically eliminated, the frequency of manual cleaning was greatly reduced, and the continuity of paint spraying operations and the surface quality of products were also guaranteed.


Chemi Tech defoamer, with its pertinence, high efficiency and long-lasting effect, has become a reliable choice for the water treatment link of paint spray booths. Overcoming the foam problem is paving the way for production efficiency and product quality.
