Dfoam AX1
- CASE Ingredients Functions
- Defoamer
Dfoam AX1 Antifoams are used in many aqueous-based formulations where a build-up of foam may be a problem. Many systems already contain surfactants or dispersing agents which tend to foam to a certain degree. In mechanical or agitated systems foaming can be an issue, so the incorporation of an antifoam during processing will help to significantly reduce the problem. Dfoam AX1 is designed specifically for paint formulations.

- HIGHLIGHTS
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, styrenebutadiene and vinyl acetate, for use in paints and adhesives.
- Storage Information
Stainless steel, polyethylene or glass lined equipment is necessary for the storage of Dfoam AX1 in order to prevent corrosion and subsequent contamination. This material can separate on standing and at low temperatures. May require agitation and warming prior to use.
