Niue What are the ink defoamer for paints(1)

2023-04-27

Niue Selection of antifoaming agents for different applications:

Flat coating

silicone

A substance that can reduce the surface tension of water, solution, suspension, etc., prevent the formation of foam, or reduce or eliminate the original foam. [1]
Defoaming agents should have the following properties: ① strong defoaming power and low dosage; ② Adding to the foaming system does not affect the basic properties of the system, i.e. does not react with the defoaming system; ③ Low surface tension; ④ Good balance with the surface; ⑤ Good heat resistance; ⑥ Good diffusion and permeability, high positive spreading coefficient; ⑦ Chemical stability, strong oxidation resistance; ⑧ Good gas solubility and permeability; ⑨ Low solubility in foaming solutions; ⑩ No physiological activity, high safety

Features: Low viscosity, low defoaming pressure

Recommendation: Mineral oils or mineral oil modified polyethers

Elastic coating

agent

Features: High viscosity, high ink defoamer pressure

Recommendation: Polyether modified silicone

The larger the molecular weight, the stronger the control ability of its surface state, and the better its skid resistance and adhesion resistance, such as the 1070 and 1071 series products of the friction chemical industry.
There are two methods for bonding modified polyester or polyether to siloxanes: one is a silicon oxygen bond; The other is silicon carbon chains, which generally have less thermal stability and water resistance than the latter.
The compatibility of polyether and polyester modified siloxanes with resins has been greatly improved, reducing surface tension, controlling surface flow, increasing slip resistance, anti shrinkage, and anti adhesion. Some products also have interlayer adhesion issues. In particular, polyether modified polysiloxanes have poor thermal stability and are prone to foam stabilization. It is important to pay attention to the negative effects of these products when applying them.

dispersant

Surface coating and film covering adhesive

Leveling agents are generally divided into two categories. One type of leveling agent works by adjusting the viscosity and leveling time of the paint film. Most of these leveling agents are organic solvents or mixtures with high boiling points, such as isophorone, diacetone alcohol, Solvesso 150, etc; The other is to adjust the surface properties of the paint film to play a role, and generally speaking, leveling agents refer to this type of leveling agent. This type of leveling agent migrates to the surface of the paint film through limited compatibility, affecting surface properties such as interfacial tension of the paint film, and achieving good leveling of the paint film. Depending on the chemical structure, there are three main types of leveling agents: acrylic acids, organosilicon, and fluorocarbon compounds

Recommendation: Polyethers, which can effectively prevent surface defects and have a small impact on gloss

dispersant

Water in Water Colorful

Features: More surfactants, stable foam

Niue Recommendation: Use polyethers or mineral oil to modify polyethers

Precautions for use of paint ink defoamer:

anti-delamination

wear-resistant

Before use, stir thoroughly and mix evenly; Adding the paint while stirring; Before use, it is generally not diluted with water; The dosage should be appropriate. Excessive dosage can cause shrinkage, edge shrinkage, poor brushing performance, and other problems; Too little dosage leads to poor defoaming effect; Add it in two stages, namely, add it in the grinding stage and the paint mixing stage, generally accounting for half of the total amount each time. Use defoaming agents with good foam suppression effect in the grinding stage, and use defoaming agents with good foam breaking effect in the paint mixing stage
