It is a highly effective defoamer with excellent compatibility which makes it ideally suitable for use in modern coatings such as those based on finely dispersed acrylics. For printing inks based on these polymers, FOAMSTAR® SI 2213 has little to no effect on the swelling of rubber stereos, inking rollers or blankets. This colorless, slightly cloudy liquid is a mixture of foam-destroying polymers and emulsifiers and silicone. view less | |
| FOAMSTAR® SI 2210 NC | BASF Formulation Additives | FOAMSTAR® SI 2210 NC is a defoamer for non-pigmented and low-pigmented aqueous coatings, printing inks, adhesives and UV-curable systems. It has a spontaneous defoaming effect in low- and nonpigmented aqueous coatings. It is highly compatible, does not separate out from the paint and has a good long-term efficiency.

It has a spontaneous defoaming effect in low- and nonpigmented aqueous coatings. It is highly compatible, does not separate out from the paint and has a good long-term efficiency. Aqueous wood coatings and overprint varnishes based on acrylic polymers are the preferential fields of application, but the defoamer is also suitable for contact adhesives. view less | |
| EFKA® FA 4666 | BASF Formulation Additives | EFKA® FA 4666 is a high molecular weight unsaturated carboxylic acid that prevents interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments and the binder. This wetting and dispersing additive reduces dispersion time and pigment sedimentation, prevents flooding/floating and stabilizes pigment dispersion. EFKA® FA 4666 is especially suited for medium to high-polarity binder systems, for example: alkyd/amino resin combinations, nitro-cellulose systems, polyurethane systems, acrylic polyisocyanate systems (2-pack acrylics) and chlorinated polymer...view more EFKA® FA 4666 is a high molecular weight unsaturated carboxylic acid that prevents interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments and the binder.

Care should be taken with EFKA® PA 4401 because of its tendency to yellowing and gelling when combined with chlorinated polymers. It also has a tendency to yellowing when combined with solvent-free epoxies. EFKA® PA 4401 is used for all kinds of high-quality solvent-based industrial coatings including automotive topcoats as well as pigment concentrates. view less | |
| EFKA® FA 4654 | BASF Formulation Additives | EFKA® FA 4654 helps to prevent interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments/extenders and binder, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time. This means: reduced dispersion time, stabilization of the pigment dispersion, reduced pigment sedimentation, reduced tendency to sag during application on vertical surfaces, and prevention of flooding. It is a high molecular weight carboxylic acid salts. EFKA® FA 4654 is ideal for dispersing organophilic bentonites, because it reduces dispersion time, improves the storage properties of the final paste and gives a thixotropic, easily processed paste product. It is especially suitable for non- to medium-polar binder systems, ie. air-dried alkyd resins, chlorinated polymer...view more EFKA® FA 4654 helps to prevent interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments/extenders and binder, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time.
