Defoamers

e = Aqueous emulsionpoa = Polyoxalkylene technologyfsi = Few silicone

Defoamerssurface active agents (surfac tants) especially emulsifi

ers, wetting and dispersing agents are used to emulsify

and stabilize hydrophobic substances e.g. binder parti

cles,pigmentsandfillers inwaterbasedprinting inks.

These surfactants tend to create foam by stabilizing

incorporated air in aqueous systems, that can lead to

problems during the production as well as the applica

tion of water based printing inks.

When selecting a suitable defoamer, special attention

has to be paid to the balance between defoaming

efficiencyandcompatibilitywith theprinting ink.Our

broad range of defoamers and deaerators based on dif

ferent chemical technologies enables us to offer you

the optimal defoamer for each type and application of

your water based printing inks.
