WS 360 DEFOAMER
WS 360 is a new generation silicone-free defoamer emulsion based on ester derivatives and hydrophobic components, specifically formulated for water-based paints and coatings. This product effectively controls foam generated during production and application while supporting sustainable production processes with its environmentally friendly structure, biodegradable properties, and zero VOC content. It contributes to the formation of an excellent film layer by preventing surface defects such as fish eyes.
Key Properties and Advantages
- Silicone-Free Technology: Does not cause crater formation on the surface, does not affect the color and adhesion performance of the paint.
- Environment and OHS Friendly: VOC-free, odorless, APEO-free, and biodegradable. Suitable for developing Ecolabel and Blue Angel certified products.
- High Efficacy: Provides strong defoaming and deaerating performance even at low dosages.
- Stability: Easily disperses within paint formulations and does not undergo phase separation during long-term storage.
Application Areas
WS 360 is safely used in the production of decorative paints, architectural coatings, plasters, water-based adhesives, emulsion polymerization, inks, and resin emulsions (vinyl, acrylic, etc.). It is an ideal solution for gloss, semi-gloss, high PVC paints, and textured paints.
