Availability

> Antimussol AC
Mixture of mineral oils on a carrier substance. It is a foam control agent, easily dispersible and miscible with grouts and mortars components in cement and concrete applications, as well as plasticizers application, waterproof coatings included. Solid form.

> Antimussol NS 22
Mixture of oils and surfactants. Is a liquid foam control agent for waterborne latex paints, adhesives, architectural paints and coatings.

> Antimussol P
Mineral oil based Antifoaming agent for paints and coatings. Recommended as multipurpose Applications are water borne coatings, paper coatings, water based adhesives. Specially effective in paints and waterborne inks.

> Antimussol V1
Vegetable oil based defoamer for paints, emulsion polymerization and pigment preparation. High cost-benefit ratio.

> Antimussol V3
Mixture of vegetable oils and surfactants. Is a foam control agent for coatings applications. Recommended in the manufacture of binders, paints, adhesives and pigment preparations.

> D-FOAM-R A101X
Economical foam control additive designed for maximum performance and compatibility in polyvinyl alcohol, starch and natural based adhesives. Excellent general purposed defoamer for many water borne coatings and adhesives.

> D-FOAM-R C119
Hydrophobic silica dispersion in hydrotreated paraffinic mineral oil. Primarily used as a concentrate to build fully formulated organic defoamers for coatings, inks, adhesives pulp & paper and many other industrial uses.

> D-FOAM-R C115
Organic defoamer formulated for use in water based coatings. Economical, general purpose product that provides economical foam control and excellent compatibility in most water borne coatings.

> D-FOAM-R C113
Foam control additive formulated for use in water based coatings. Very well suited for use in synthetic latex based coatings. Provides excellent aging stability for rapid bubble break on application.
