Features Of BASF FoamStar SI 2293 Defoamer

  1. Highly effective silicone-based defoamer for rapid foam knock-down and long-term foam suppression.

  2. Excellent compatibility with water-based systems, including acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl acetate copolymer dispersions.

  3. Low dosage requirement—effective at 0.05–0.3 wt% in final formulation—minimizing impact on film properties.

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

  5. Non-yellowing and non-staining—preserves clarity and color stability in sensitive coatings and adhesives.

Typical Applications Of BASF FoamStar SI 2293 Defoamer

  1. Architectural paints and interior/exterior wall coatings.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings and protective finishes.

  3. Water-based adhesives and construction sealants.

  4. Printing inks (water-based flexographic and gravure formulations).

  5. Textile and leather finishing auxiliaries.
