Features Of BASF Efka SI2723 Defoamer

  1. Highly effective silicone-based defoamer for rapid foam knock-down in demanding aqueous systems.

  2. Excellent compatibility with a broad range of waterborne coatings, including acrylics, polyurethanes, and epoxy dispersions.

  3. Low dosage efficiency—effective at 0.1–0.5 wt% in final formulation—minimizing impact on gloss and substrate wetting.

  4. Stable under high-shear mixing and elevated temperatures up to 60 °C during production and storage.

  5. Non-yellowing and non-staining, preserving color fidelity and clarity in transparent or light-colored systems.

Typical Applications Of BASF Efka SI2723 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

  2. Water-based wood finishes and varnishes.

  3. Adhesives and sealants, especially PVA and acrylic dispersions.

  4. Printing inks for flexographic and gravure applications.

  5. Construction chemicals, including cementitious and polymer-modified mortars.
