These products help formulators optimize their product’s performance while being compliant with multiple standards.
Among the products being exhibited are the siloxane-based defoamers AIRASE® 5355 and AIRASE® 5655, as well as the organic defoamer AIRASE® 4655. With regards to wetting agents, Evonik presents the SURFYNOL® 355 with especially broad food compliances and the high-molecular-weight TEGO® Wet 550.
AIRASE® 5355 is a strong siloxane-based defoamer designed to control and quickly eliminate foam without generating defects in water-based coatings, inks, and overprint varnishes. AIRASE® 5655 provides excellent compatibility making it the ideal siloxane-based let-down defoamer. As an alternative to siloxane-based additives, AIRASE® 4655 is a relatively compatible organic-oil-based defoamer. It is easy to incorporate and provides excellent compatibility with high shear stability. None of these defoamers contain mineral oils, organic solvents, or alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs).
SURFYNOL® 355 surfactant is a substrate wetting additive designed to provide both dynamic and static wetting. It’s the first choice for overprint varnishes, can be easily incorporated into water-based systems, and offers superior wetting for difficult to-wet substrates. Among the substrate wetting additives, it offers the broadest food contact compliances. TEGO® Wet 550 ensures excellent print results especially on absorbent substrates and exhibits low migration potential due to its high molecular weight.
