Dfoam AX1

Sold by Deuteron

Dfoam AX1 is a targeted antifoam solution crafted for paint formulations within aqueous-based systems. In scenarios where surfactants or dispersing agents contribute to foam generation, especially in mechanically or agitated systems, Dfoam AX1 proves instrumental in mitigating and significantly reducing foam buildup during the processing of paint formulations.

Applications
  • Dfoam AX1 is a silicone free antifoam that effectively prevents air entrainment, froth and foam. It coalesces minute air bubbles in the liquid, allowing them to rise easily to the surface, and promotes rapid bubble film rupture on the surface of the liquid. Foaming is not only suppressed during manufacture, it remains suppressed during stirring and application by the consumer. Foam control is easily and effectively achieved with small percentages of Dfoam AX1. This ensures an economical method of foam control.  
  • Dfoam AX1 is specifically compatible with a variety of polymer latices, including styrene butyl acrylate, acrylic, PVC, styrene- butadiene and vinyl acetate, for use in paints and adhesives.
  • A mineral oil based defoamer aimed at aqueous based paint formulations

Typical addition levels:

  • Paints: 0.2 to 0.5%
  • Adhesives: 0.5 to 1%
  • Pigment dispersions: 0.1 to 0.5%
