BASF FoamStar SI2280 Defoamer

BASF FoamStar SI2280 Defoamer is a silicone-based, high-performance defoaming agent designed for water-based industrial coatings and adhesives. It delivers rapid foam knockdown, excellent compatibility, and long-term stability without affecting gloss or substrate wetting. Ideal for roller, spray, and curtain coating processes where persistent foam disrupts production efficiency and finish quality.

Features Of BASF FoamStar SI2280 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% active in most formulations.

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

  5. Non-yellowing and non-affecting on final film clarity or gloss in coatings and adhesives.

Typical Applications Of BASF FoamStar SI2280 Defoamer

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne coatings (e.g., interior/exterior paints, primers).

  2. Water-based adhesives and sealants (e.g., PVA, EVA, and SBR formulations).

  3. Construction chemicals (e.g., cementitious tile adhesives, grouts, and self-leveling compounds).

  4. Textile printing pastes and pigment dispersions.

  5. Wood coatings and clear finishes based on aqueous polymer dispersions.
