DAPRO DF1760 is a water-based defoaming chemical auxiliary agent formulated with modified silicone technology, specialized for efficient foam control in aqueous systems—including polyurethane paint, color topcoats, and varnishes. It delivers rapid defoaming action paired with long-lasting antifoaming performance, even in high-shear environments or complex formulations. With excellent compatibility across water-based coatings, inks, and adhesives, it minimizes impact on critical surface properties like gloss and transparency. Easy to disperse and requiring only 0.1–0.5% dosage, it serves as a cost-effective solution for consistent bubble-free results in architectural paints, industrial coatings, and emulsion-based products.
Core Technology: Water-based formulation leveraging modified silicone technology for targeted foam control in aqueous systems.
Performance: Delivers rapid defoaming and long-lasting antifoaming effects, maintaining efficacy even in high-shear conditions or challenging formulations.
Compatibility: Exhibits excellent compatibility with water-based coatings, inks, and adhesives, ensuring no negative impact on key surface properties (e.g., gloss, transparency).
Target Coatings: Ideal for polyurethane paint, color topcoats, and varnishes, preventing foam-induced surface flaws (e.g., pinholes, craters).
Architectural & Industrial Coatings: Suitable for water-based architectural paints and industrial coatings, ensuring smooth, defect-free finishes during production and application.
Water-Based Inks & Adhesives: Applied in water-based inks (to maintain print quality) and adhesives (to preserve bonding strength), with no compromise on gloss or transparency.

Q1: What types of industrial systems is DAPRO DF1760 specifically formulated for?
A: DAPRO DF1760 is a silicone-based defoamer engineered for demanding aqueous systems, including water-based coatings, adhesives, sealants, textile auxiliaries, and industrial cleaning formulations where persistent foam interferes with processing or final film quality.
Q2: How should DAPRO DF1760 be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the let-down or post-addition stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with water or a compatible solvent may improve dispersion in sensitive systems. Always conduct compatibility and performance testing in the final formulation before full-scale use.
Q3: Does DAPRO DF1760 affect gloss, clarity, or substrate wetting in coating applications?
A: When used within recommended dosage ranges, it generally maintains good compatibility with high-gloss and clear-coat systems. However, excessive addition may lead to surface defects; therefore, optimization for each specific formulation is advised to balance defoaming efficiency and appearance properties.
Q4: Is DAPRO DF1760 suitable for low-VOC or high-solids formulations?
A: Yes — its silicone-ethoxylated structure provides effective foam control with minimal impact on VOC content and is compatible with many low-VOC and high-solids systems, though performance should be verified under actual application conditions.
