BASF Efka SI2741 Defoamer

BASF Efka SI2741 Defoamer is a silicone-free, water-based defoaming agent designed for waterborne coatings and industrial cleaning formulations. It delivers rapid foam suppression and long-term antifoam performance without affecting gloss or substrate wetting. Compatible with anionic, nonionic, and cationic systems, it ensures excellent stability and easy incorporation. Ideal for architectural paints, adhesives, and detergents where low-foam processing is critical.

Features Of BASF Efka SI2741 Defoamer

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

  2. Excellent compatibility and long-term stability in waterborne coatings, adhesives, and industrial cleaners.

  3. Low dosage efficiency — achieves optimal defoaming performance at low addition levels (0.05–0.3 wt%).

  4. Maintains clarity and gloss in clearcoat formulations without causing haze or surface defects.

  5. Resistant to shear and thermal degradation during high-speed mixing and elevated processing temperatures.

Typical Applications Of BASF Efka SI2741 Defoamer

  1. Waterborne architectural and industrial coatings (e.g., acrylic, PUD, epoxy dispersions).

  2. Adhesives and sealants, including pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) and construction sealants.

  3. Industrial cleaning formulations, such as alkaline and neutral detergents for metal pretreatment.

  4. Printing inks, especially flexographic and gravure inks based on water or solvent/water hybrids.

  5. Construction chemicals, including cementitious tile adhesives and self-leveling compounds.
