Defoamers / Anti-foaming Agents

Foam formed during processing, mixing or during high speed coating processes is a menace for many adhesive applications. Therefore, additives like defoamers/ antifoaming agents are added to an adhesive formulation to cut down the risk of foam formation. While defoamers are added to eliminate the preexisting foam, antifoaming agents are added before the formulation is prepared to prevent occurrence of foaming. Not only do these agents prevent foam formation but also help in maintaining the aesthetics and the adhesion properties of an adhesive. Defoamers/antifoaming agents can be either silicone or non silicone based.

Select Defoamers/ Anti-Foaming Agents for Adhesives
Defoaming/ Anti-foaming Agents are primarily used in formulating water-borne adhesives, but they are also used in solvent-borne and solvent-free systems. Selection of right defoaming agent mainly depends on the distinct adhesive formulation, processes employed in formulation or conversion. Explore the role of defoaming/anti-foaming agents, its types and control mechanisms to eliminate foaming in adhesive systems. Also, get tips to select the right defoamming agent for your formulation and the test methods to determine the efficiency of defoaming agents. Review: Role of Defoamers How Foam is Generated?
