Breakthrough in defoaming technology

FoamStar® is a revolutionary new defoamer that works at the molecular level, making it different from -- and better than -- existing defoamer chemistry. As active substances, these defoamers feature the star-shaped molecule that gives FoamStar® its name. This three-dimensional, polyfunctional block polymer exerts both a strongly defoaming effect and also good wetting properties, thus significantly improving the quality of the paint or coating system.

FoamStar® is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications in the paints and coatings industry. Its unique benefits include:

  • No reduction of the gloss of high gloss paints and coatings
  • Good persistence
  • Very fast bubble-break versus conventional defoamers
  • A combination of cost and performance with at least a 20% savings through lower use levels
  • Double the efficiency of existing defoamer technologies so formulators can use one-third to one-half as much with better performance
  • A positive impact of about 3% on end product profitability
  • Reduction of volatile organic components (VOC)
