BASF Defoamers ST-2410

BASF Defoamers ST-2410

Product Features:

Powerful foam breaking capacity, no separation or sedimentation. It delivers wetting performance unavailable in conventional defoamers. The dosage of defoamer can be reduced by 1/3 to 1/2, cutting defoamer cost by at least 20%.

Application Fields:

Various emulsions, waterborne coatings, water-based adhesives

Details

Product Overview:

FoamStar ST2410AC is a novel mineral oil-based compound synthesized with FoamStar defoaming substance featuring a special molecular structure and specialty mineral oil. It is suitable for various high-gloss pure acrylic, styrene-acrylic and vinyl acetate-acrylic coatings. It represents an innovative defoamer chemical structure developed in over 30 years. As an unprecedented defoamer molecule, FoamStar differs from conventional defoamers (such as mineral oil or silicone-based types) by combining defoaming and wetting functions in one product.
