Defoamers
With the use of Afromer® Series defoamers, developed with the long years of experience of Reaksiyon Kimya R&D experts, It is possible to eliminate macro and micro foams in the short and long term and to obtain a flawless surface. They can also be used as air purifiers due to their performance in eliminating microfoams. They do not cause any change in the color of the product used. It provides a great advantage in terms of price-performance.
Liquid Defoamers
Mineral Oil Based Defoamers
Mineral oil-based defoamers have a lower surface tension than water. In the film layer; they do not cause a structure such as fisheye or crater that will spoil the film surface. It is suitable for dense and resistant systems where other defoamers cannot be active. It can be used in production areas such as water-based industrial paints, printing inks, water-based pigment paste, textiles. They do not contain phenolic structure, silicone and volatile components. They provide a cost advantage to the consumer.

Silicone Based Liquid Defoamers
Silicone-based defoamers used in water-based systems are emulsions of strong hydrophobic silicone oils. Polydimethylsiloxanes are often used. It can be modified with silica and polyureas to improve the dispersibility and defoaming performance of the silicone oil. Their cost is higher than mineral oil-based defoamers. It is used in high quality coating formulations.
