Project Description
High-Performance Defoamers for Construction Materials
Effective foam control using specialized defoamers for construction materials is essential for achieving the desired quality, performance, and durability in modern building projects. Uncontrolled foam generated during the mixing and application of concrete, mortars, coatings, and other construction materials can lead to significant issues, from reduced strength to surface defects. INVINO, a trusted provider of advanced industrial defoamers, offers a comprehensive range of solutions specifically engineered to tackle the unique foam challenges encountered in the construction industry. We understand the demanding conditions and complex chemistries involved, including interactions with modern admixtures like PCEs, and deliver reliable foam control technology you can depend on.
Key Application Areas
Cementitious Systems (Concrete, Mortars, Grouts)
In cement-based systems, controlling entrained air is vital. Selecting the right cement defoamer is key for:
- Achieving target air content for freeze-thaw durability while eliminating unwanted macro-foam.
- Improving workability, pumpability, and finishing characteristics.
- Enhancing final compressive strength and density.
- Ensuring reliable performance alongside PCE admixtures and other additives (admixture compatibility). YWL offers robust liquid and powder cement defoamers designed for these demanding conditions.
Dry-Mix Products (Tile Adhesives, Putties, Self-Leveling Compounds)
Dry-mix formulations rely on high-performance powder defoamers that activate quickly upon contact with water. YWL’s specialized powders help:
- Achieve excellent flow and leveling in self-leveling compounds.
- Minimize surface defects like pinholes and voids in tile adhesives, grouts, and putties.
- Ensure consistent performance and rapid air release during mixing. Discover YWL’s range of easily incorporated powder defoamers for your dry-mix needs.
