Chemical additives such as defoamers, coupling agents, levelers, thinners, thickeners,wetting agents, deflocculates, clarifiers, and anti-caking agents are widely used because they offer improved strength, resistance, appearance, and performance.Chemical defoaming coating additives are used either during the production or application of disinfectants, sealants, concrete, ceramics, cement, cleaners, paints and coatings, polymer resins, and adhesives to enhance the end-use properties of the latter.Defoamers are the anti-foaming chemical additives that minimize and stop the formation of foam. The defoaming agents are mainly used in industrial processes.Foam formation leads to flaws on surface coatings and prevents efficient filling of containers. It is a major problem during the production of printing inks, paints, and coatings. This issue is tackled with a number of defoamer-based formulations during paints and coatings production such as waterborne, solvent-free, radiation-curing, and high solid formulations.
