Product description
EVONIK offers a wide range of defoamers and deaerators for aqueous systems. Depending on the demands on the additive in the final formulation (shear stability, long term stability, compatibility, surface quality) the right additives can be found to address micro and macrofoam.
The products range from defoamers based on organic oils and silicones, across siloxane based deaerators, to the unique molecular defoamers.
Areas of application are automotive coatings, wood coatings, architectural paints, printing inks, adhesives and cleaners.
