替换城市 Principle and influencing factors of special Free of silicone defoamers agents for paints(3)

2023-04-24

Most surfactants used in coatings tend to be functionally incompatible with Free of silicone defoamers. In particular, emulsifiers, wetting and dispersing agents, leveling agents, thickeners, etc. can have an impact on the effectiveness of defoamers. Therefore, when coordinating various additives, it is necessary to pay attention to the relationship between different additives and select a good balance point.

There are many types of leveling agents, and the types of leveling agents used for different coatings are also different. High boiling solvent or butyl cellulose can be used in solvent based finishing agents. Surfactants or polyacrylic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, etc. are used in water-based finishing agents.

When the paint is baked at high temperature at room temperature, its viscosity will drop at the beginning, and bubbles can move to the surface. However, because of the volatilization of solvent, the curing of paint, and the increase of surface viscosity, the foam will become more stable and retain on the surface, resulting in shrinkage and pinholes. Therefore, the baking temperature, fixing speed, and solvent volatilization rate also have an impact on the effect of defoamer.
