See the whole Industrial line →Mineral Oil-Based Defoamer
Defoaming formulation based on mineral oil with hydrophobic particles, designed for foam control in the manufacture and application of water-based paints. It acts both in the grinding stage and during filling, helping to reduce film defects such as craters and microbubbles. Compatibility testing is recommended for each formulation.
Reverse Osmosis Antiscalant
Formulation based on phosphonates and dispersant polymers used to inhibit the formation of mineral scale on reverse osmosis membranes and heat exchange equipment. It helps extend operating cycles between cleanings and protect the service life of the membranes. The dosage is defined according to the analysis of the feed water.
Silicone Defoamer
Formulation based on polydimethylsiloxane and hydrophobic silica for foam control in aqueous processes. It acts at low dosages by breaking existing foam and preventing its reformation, with good persistence in intensely agitated systems. Compatibility with the process temperature and pH is verified in each application.
Sodium Polyacrylate
Sodium Polyacrylate
Low-molecular-weight acrylic polymer used as a dispersant for pigments and mineral fillers in water-based paints. It reduces grinding viscosity and improves dispersion stability, which is associated with better color development and less settling. It also acts as a scale inhibitor in water circuits.
