General
FOAMSTAR® ED 2523 is a universal, polymer-emulsion defoamer enhanced with small amount of modified PDMS. It is an excellent defoamer for many flat to semigloss aqueous coatings and designed to offer an alternative to mineral-oil-based defoamers typically used in interior and exterior water-based architectural coatings. This product exhibits excellent foam suppression during grinding as well as application, retains antifoam efficiency during extended storage of paint, and it is easy to incorporate without requiring strong shear forces. It is also highly compatible, maintains gloss, and there is no fogging. FOAMSTAR® ED 2523 is VOC-free according to EU Directive 2004/42/EC and EPA Method 24 (USA) and has a very low semi-volatile organic compound content.
