Eco-friendly Alternative
"
The market is rapidly moving towards safer, sustainable, higher performing paints. Many paint manufacturers are currently switching to renewable ingredients, to have a high verifiable biobased content, coupled with fact-based (LCA’s) Life Cycle Analysis,” said Gerjan van Laar, global marketing segment manager, Architectural.
“
Within Elementis we are developing more products that are meeting up with above elements, DAPRO® BIO 9910 is a great example of the journey to develop and to ensure more sustainable paints by the market," added Laar.
Defoamers effectively eliminate foam and prevent the formation of bubbles during paint manufacturing, application, and storage. Traditionally, defoamers have relied on petroleum-based ingredients, raising concerns about their environmental impact and sustainability.
However, Elementis’ DAPRO® BIO 9910 marks a significant step forward, as it is mostly derived from renewable vegetable oil; and offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional defoamers. The ultrafine dispersion of wax in vegetable oil is combined with a minor addition of silicone.
The innovative defoamer can be used in water-based coatings and outperforms mineral oil versions. The utilization of DAPRO® BIO 9910 leads to improved durability and longevity of architectural paint. With excellent storage stability and no phase separation over a long period of time, it provides long-term effectiveness and best reproducibility.
