Description
BYK Defoamers
Foam represents a dispersion of gas within a liquid medium. In numerous industrial processes such as manufacturing coatings, printing inks, plastic materials, and more, the presence of foam is typically undesired. Defoamers, also known as air release agents, serve to prevent and disperse foam bubbles, facilitating enhanced processing, impeccable surface quality, and optimal product characteristics.
BYK offers defoamers which can be used in a variety of different applications. You can divide them into three main groups: silicone defoamers, mineral oil defoamers and polymer defoamers.
