Coatynol DF-52/ 54 Defoamers Introduction Coatynol DF-52/ 54 are defoaming/ foam-control agents useful for a wide variety of applications Those nonionic, polyether silicone defoamers can be utilized in areas where foam prevention or foam elimination is necessary without causing film problems. Some of the benefits include: Excellent ability of knock down foam Control of foam created by other surface active agent Micro-foam elimination Perfect shelf stability over a wide range of physical conditions Applications Printing Inks Coatynol DF-52/ 54 defoamers are utilized in water-based printing inks and coating. These products can reduce surface tension in the systems and eliminate surface tension raise phenomenon caused by traditional foam control agents. Industrial protective coatings Toynol DF-52/ 54 can supply an excellent ability of foam control and knock down in the water-based industrial protective coatings. Those products are compatible with variety of resins, and can be stored with coating products without causing serious decompose and losing defoaming ability. Wood Lacquer Coatynol DF-52/ 54 have an outstanding foam knock down ability in the water-based wood lacquer without causing undesirable substrate wetting caused by defect such as pinholes, fisheyes, etc. Other Applications Coatynol defoamers have also shown efficacy as antifoams, defoams and deairentrainent aids in the following systems. Building coatings Water-based adhesives Synthetic metal working lubricants Paper coatings Latex products Application Methods Added Toynol surfactant under agitation. In order to reach an excellent effect, please adequately agitate the Toynol surfactant before added. Suggested Additives 0.1-0.4% , optimal concentration levels should be determined by running a ladder study.
