New Generation of Ultra Stable Anti-Foaming Agents for Waterborne Systems
Anti-foaming agents are used in waterborne coatings systems to reduce foam formation during production, transportation, storage and application. Several test methods are used for determining the efficiency of anti-foaming agents. Depending on the cause of the foam formation, the best corresponding laboratory test method is chosen.
This article describes a new generation of ultra stable anti-foaming agents. Depending on the specific criteria for compatibility and usage, a selection of proper anti-foaming agents can be made.
