Excessive foam formation in water-based paint systems is a major concern during all stages of production. On top of this, the coatings market is also facing supply issues, product discontinuations, and an escalating need for more environmentally friendly defoamers.


 

Selecting the proper defoamer for your specific application can be quite a task!


 

The technical experts at Elementis are here to help. Watch this recored webinar to learn all you need to know about defoamers – the different types, the properties that impact efficiency, side effects of using the wrong defoamer, and how to choose the right one based on your application needs.


 

You will also get a sneak-peak at two new defoamer products that are launching soon, including a bio-based option! Learn the chemistry, how to incorporate, recommended applications, and key benefits for your system.
