A highly efficient fluorosilicone additive for improved foam control

Foam generation can cause problems with the production, filling and application of solvent-based paints, inks and coatings, particularly in high-solids formulations.

If you are seeing more defects and haze and gloss issues resulting from the addition of your foam control agents, and if you have to use several different additives to control foam in your various solventborne coatings, consider DOWSIL™ 102F Additive.
