Understanding Defoamer Usage: Best Practices for DF007 in Coatings
Achieving optimal performance from any chemical additive hinges on understanding its correct application and usage. For defoamers, particularly in demanding sectors like coatings manufacturing, proper integration is key to preventing defects and ensuring product quality. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.'s DF007, a high-performance Mineral Oil Based Defoamer, offers excellent foam control for waterborne coatings, but its effectiveness is maximized through informed usage.
The DF007 is designed for flexibility, capable of being added at different stages of the coatings production process. It can be incorporated during the grinding phase, where high shear forces often generate significant foam, or later during the paint mixing stage, before the final emulsion is added. This adaptability allows formulators to tailor its introduction based on their specific process conditions and equipment. When considering its purchase, understanding these application methods is crucial for maximizing value.
When it comes to addition amounts, DF007 typically requires a low dosage. The recommended addition amount is generally between 1‰ to 3‰ (parts per thousand) of the total formulation weight. However, it is always advisable to conduct specific experiments to determine the precise optimum addition amount for your unique coating system. Factors such as the type of resin, pigment loading, and the presence of other surfactants can influence the exact dosage needed. This empirical approach ensures cost-effectiveness and prevents over-addition, which could potentially affect the coating's properties.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes that DF007 is designed for direct addition and should not be diluted with water before use, as this can lead to stratification and diminished performance. By following these best practices for usage and application, manufacturers can leverage the full potential of DF007.
