Project Description

Cement Defoamer & Concrete Admixture Antifoams

Effective foam control using specialized defoamers for construction materials is essential for ensuring the workability, strength, and durability of modern building projects. Uncontrolled foam in cement, mortars, coatings, and other construction materials can lead to significant application failures.

INVINO provides a complete range of solutions specifically engineered to tackle unique foam challenges in the demanding conditions and complex chemistries involved.

Cement, Mortar & Concrete

Controlling foam in cementitious systems is key for achieving targets for air content, strength, and workability. We offer solutions for concrete, mortars, and grouts.

Water Reducing Agents (Admixtures)

Polycarboxylic acid (PCE) and other water reducers are highly prone to foaming. Our defoamers are designed for high compatibility and persistent foam control in these admixtures.

Gypsum-Based Materials

Our defoamers effectively control foam in gypsum board and in gypsum-based plasters or flooring screeds, contributing to desired density and surface smoothness.

Dry-Mix Mortars & Self-Levelling Compounds

In dry-mix products like self-levelling compounds, foam reduce surface strength. Defoamers ensure air release on mixing with water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this defoamer compatible with Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE) Superplasticizers?
Yes. Our TIB/Polyether modified series has excellent compatibility with PCE liquid. It can be pre-mixed into the admixture formulation without causing "oil slicking," turbidity, or phase separation during long-term storage.
Q: Will using this defoamer improve the compressive strength of concrete?
Yes. By effectively removing large, unstable entrained air bubbles (trapped air), it densifies the concrete matrix. This reduction in air void content directly contributes to higher compressive strength and better structural integrity.
Q: Can it help eliminate "bug holes" on the concrete surface?
Absolutely. It promotes the rapid release of air bubbles during the vibration and leveling process. This results in a smooth, "fair-faced" concrete finish, significantly reducing surface defects like bug holes and honeycombing.
Q: Is the defoamer stable in high-alkaline environments (High pH)?
Yes. Cement hydration creates a highly alkaline environment (pH > 12). Our defoamers are chemically engineered to remain stable and active under these harsh conditions without hydrolyzing or losing effectiveness.
Q: How should I apply the defoamer? Direct addition or pre-mix?
It is versatile. For ready-mix concrete plants, it can be added directly to the mixer truck. For admixture manufacturers, it is best formulated directly into the water-reducer (superplasticizer) package for a convenient "all-in-one" solution.
