Project Description
Waterborne Defoamers for Paints & Coatings | INVINO®
Foam in waterborne coatings can cause a range of issues, including surface defects, poor film formation, and unpredictable finish. Defoamers are essential for achieving a smooth, consistent film and maintaining high-quality appearance. Excess foam can also increase production time and waste, making foam control a crucial step in formulating waterborne paints, latex paints, and inks.
INVINO® provides high-performance waterborne defoamers that effectively address these challenges, ensuring smooth application, excellent coverage, and enhanced durability.

Regulatory Compliance: Meets VOC and eco-friendly standards, making it ideal for green chemistry and sustainable production.
How to Select the Right Defoamer for Waterborne Coatings?
-
Identify the Coating System: Choose a defoamer that fits your latex, acrylic, or waterborne ink system.
-
Match the Application Method: For spray application, select defoamers that promote smooth finish and fast foam knockdown.
-
Consider System Viscosity: Choose the right defoamer for low to medium-viscosity formulations to ensure effective defoaming without compromising stability.
-
Start Dosage: For latex paints, a typical starting dosage is 0.05–0.2% w/w. Optimize based on foam suppression and finish quality.
-
Add Point: Add during grind or let-down stages, depending on the foam load at each step.
-
Check Performance: Ensure the defoamer maintains surface integrity, recoatability, and gloss.
