Defoamer and Air‑Release Additive (Oil‑Based) for Water‑Based Architectural Paints and Adhesives
ADDEX‑DF 2212 is a powerful oil‑based defoamer and air‑release additive designed for use in waterborne coatings, emulsion polymerization processes, and water‑based adhesives. It delivers excellent performance in acrylic, polyester, and polyvinyl acetate systems, providing long‑lasting defoaming that significantly enhances the final quality of the formulation.
ADDEX‑DF 2212 offers effective and reliable performance without causing the common issues associated with silicone‑based defoamers—such as fisheyes, surface imperfections, and film‑compatibility problems—making it an ideal choice for sensitive waterborne formulations.
