Evonik’s Coating Additives Business Line launches novel defoamer TEGO® Foamex 852 which provides a unique combination of effectiveness and compatibility. This new, patent-pending technology offers formulators a new level of freedom. TEGO® Foamex 852 provides the critical additional defoaming strength and remains compatible. This relationship between effectiveness and compatibility is linear for defoamers, turning new product development into a balancing act.
Siloxane-based Defoamer for WB Formulations
TEGO® Foamex 852 is a siloxane-based
defoamer for waterborne formulations, is 100 percent active and thereby also solvent-free. The new defoamer was specifically developed for printing ink application, and can be used to successfully meet Swiss A, FDA and China GB guidelines.
Further Product Benefits Include:
-
Excellent shear stability and long-term effectiveness, which is particularly relevant for long print runs or if the printing ink must be stored for long periods.
-
Processing is also simple and flexible: The defoamer can be added at any stage of the printing ink manufacturing process.
Coating Additives is constantly working on expanding its existing portfolio and is already researching additional defoamers based on the new technology.
