Key Performance Benefits

  • Next-Gen Antifoam Technology
    Advanced mineral oil and active particle synergy specifically engineered for modern, surfactant-rich aqueous formulations.
  • Multi-Stage Process Efficiency
    Rapidly collapses stubborn foam generated during high-speed dispersion, bead milling, industrial pumping, and roller or spray application.
  • High-Surfactant Resilience
    Effectively overcomes foam stabilization caused by aggressive wetting agents, dispersants, and emulsifier packages while maintaining long-lasting anti-foam performance.
  • Defect-Free Film Finish
    Disperses uniformly into aqueous binders to help prevent fish-eyes, surface cratering, and adhesion-related coating defects.

Recommended Applications

  • Surfactant-Rich Waterborne Coatings
    High-performance architectural paints, decorative dispersion coatings, and waterborne industrial finishes.
  • Pigment Grinding & Milling
    Water-based pigment pastes, colorant concentrates, and mill-base grinding formulations.
  • Aqueous Inks & Adhesives
    Water-based flexographic printing inks, paper packaging adhesives, and latex-based sealants.
  • Construction Emulsions
    Polymer-modified cementitious slurries, masonry primers, and waterborne binder systems.

Dosage & Processing Guidelines

The typical recommended dosage range for FOAMSTAB NXG is 0.1% to 0.5% calculated on the total formulation mass.

  • Split Incorporation
    Add 50% during the grind or milling stage to prevent early foam buildup, and the remaining 50% during the let-down phase for long-term application stability.
  • Mixing Conditions
    Incorporate under standard production stirring to achieve homogeneous distribution throughout the waterborne formulation.
  • Ladder Testing
    Perform laboratory ladder testing to determine the minimum effective dosage based on the surfactant loading of the formulation.

Modern waterborne coatings and pigment concentrates rely heavily on complex wetting and dispersing additives, which often form dense, microfoam structures that standard mineral oil defoamers struggle to penetrate. FOAMSTAB NXG employs next-generation hydrophobic particle technology that rapidly destabilizes surfactant-rich foam membranes during high-shear milling and pumping without inducing surface defect fish-eyes.
