Description
Foam can be caused by various factors such as agitation, air entrainment, or the presence of surfactants in the lacquer formulation.
The presence of foam can negatively impact the flow and leveling of the coating, resulting in a rough or uneven finish.
Anti-foam additives work by destabilizing and breaking down the foam bubbles, allowing them to collapse and dissipate.
These additives are typically added at a low percentage, ranging from 0.1% to 1%, depending on the level of foam control required.
