FOAMSTAB Series — Advanced Defoaming Technology
DEFOAMERS &
ANTIFOAMS
THAT PERFORM.
Broad-spectrum hygiene protection built permanently into your material — powered by Silver-Zeolite, Silver-Ion, Silver Zirconium Phosphate, and Quaternary Silane technologies. For plastics, coatings, textiles, construction chemicals, and beyond.
SMART DEFOAMING
BUILT INTO THE PROCESS.
FOAMSTAB Defoamers and Antifoams are advanced functional additives incorporated directly into coatings, inks, adhesives, construction chemicals, and industrial fluid systems to deliver instant foam knockdown and sustained foam suppression.
Foam is one of the biggest hidden challenges across manufacturing — causing surface defects, reduced throughput, viscosity instability, and costly reworks. FOAMSTAB grades are engineered to eliminate these problems at the source.
Unlike surface-active treatments that lose efficacy over time, FOAMSTAB additives integrate seamlessly into formulations to provide dual-action performance: rapid foam break and extended stability — preventing re-foaming during production and storage.
DUAL-ACTION.
LOW DOSAGE. ZERO SURFACE DEFECTS.Effective at 0.1–0.8% addition across waterborne, solvent-borne, solvent-free, epoxy, PU, acrylic, and UPR systems. No craters, fish-eyes, or film haze.

4 DISTINCT
TECHNOLOGIES.
Each FOAMSTAB grade is engineered around one of four defoaming technology platforms — selected based on the system type (waterborne vs. solvent-based), processing conditions, regulatory requirements, and performance targets.
Silicone-Free Polymeric
Zero silicone · Defect-free filmsAdvanced polymeric base engineered for solvent-borne, solvent-free, polyurethane and epoxy systems. Ideal replacement for BYK 054 / BYK 054T. Delivers defoaming with zero risk of cratering or intercoat adhesion issues.
Silicone / Siloxane
Fast-acting · Aqueous systemsSilicone-containing and silicone-polymer hybrid grades for high-efficiency foam control in waterborne, emulsion paint, printing ink, and overprint varnish systems. VOC-free options available.
Fluorosilicone
Premium performance · High-speedFluorosilicone-based technology for extreme foam knockdown speed and superior surface levelling. Engineered for premium solvent-borne coatings, industrial paints, and protective finishes demanding the highest defoaming standards.
Mineral Oil / Aqueous
Water-borne · Broad compatibilityMineral oil-based and water-borne antifoam grades for decorative coatings, construction chemicals, wastewater treatment, and surfactant-rich industrial systems. Excellent compatibility with emulsion paints and cement admixtures.
10+ GRADES.
4 PLATFORMS.
Each FOAMSTAB grade is precision-formulated for specific system types, processing conditions, and application environments.
HOW FOAMSTAB
ELIMINATES FOAM.
FOAMSTAB defoamers work through a well-established physical-chemical mechanism — entering foam lamellae, disrupting surface tension, and collapsing bubbles before they can accumulate or damage the substrate.
Surface migration
Step 1Defoamer droplets migrate rapidly to the foam lamellae surface due to their lower surface tension and limited compatibility with the system.
Lamella penetration
Step 2Active components spread into and penetrate the foam lamellae, disrupting the surfactant film that stabilises bubbles at the surface.
Surface tension collapse
Step 3Local reduction of surface tension causes bubble walls to thin and destabilise rapidly, leading to immediate foam knockdown and bubble coalescence.
Long-term suppression
Step 4Residual defoamer remains dispersed in the formulation, providing sustained anti-foaming action throughout processing, storage, and end-use application.

7 REASONS TO
SPECIFY FOAMSTAB.
Every decision point where FOAMSTAB outperforms conventional defoamer technologies.
Instant foam knockdown
Breaks surface foam immediately, restoring flow and improving process stability from the first drop.
Long-term suppression
Ensures continued defoaming throughout production with no re-foaming issues during storage or application.
Low dosage, high output
Highly active additives delivering maximum efficiency at just 0.1–0.8% usage — versus 1–2% for conventional defoamers.
Superior compatibility
Designed for aqueous, solvent-free, solvent-borne, epoxy, PU, acrylic, and UPR formulations without haze or separation.
Zero surface defects
Eliminates pinholes, craters, microfoam, fish-eyes, and air entrapment — even in high-gloss and clear coat systems.
Thermal & shear stability
Performs under shear, temperature variations, and aggressive mixing conditions without losing defoaming efficacy.
Enhanced productivity & savings
Better surface finish combined with reduced downtime and rework delivers measurable improvement in production economics.
WHY FOAMSTAB
OUTPERFORMS.
A direct comparison of FOAMSTAB performance advantages over standard defoamer technologies across critical evaluation criteria.
| Performance criterion | FOAMSTAB | Conventional defoamers |
|---|---|---|
| Foam control mode | ✓ Dual-action: instant knockdown + long-term suppression | Typically one or the other, rarely both |
| Dosage required | ✓ 0.1–0.8% effective addition | Often requires 1–2% addition |
| Surface defects | ✓ Zero craters, fish-eyes, or orange peel | Risk of cratering in high-gloss systems |
| System compatibility | ✓ Waterborne, solvent-free, solvent-borne, epoxy, PU, acrylic | Often limited to specific system types |
| Gloss & clarity impact | ✓ No impact on gloss, transparency, or film clarity | May cloud or haze clear systems |
| High-shear resistance | ✓ Stable under shear, mixing, temperature variation | May degrade under aggressive processing |
| Storage stability | ✓ 12–24 months uniform performance | May separate or settle over storage |
