Foam
Foam is what is called the formation of gas bubbles in liquid or solid setting. The formation of foam can depend on factors such as the surface area, surface tension and the pressure of the environment.
Foam control in industrial applications are crucial in terms of continuous production, efficiency, cost and performance of the product. While the needless foam that forms during production interrupts the process, it also negatively affects the quality of the final product.
Causes of foam formation include cellulose derivatives, mixing speed, resins, post-production filling and application methods.
Defoamers are chemical additives that are used to prevent foam formation in industrial processes where foam is not desired or remove it where it has already formed. Defoamers reduce the surface tension of the suspension or emulsion, preventing foam formation.

Chemipol
Founded in Spain in 1979, Chemipol is additive and biocide manufacturers. Chemipol, having major experience in the field of defoamers with its high technology, effective solutions and expert technical support, has achieved great success in the world with its Densipol PA and WO series in terms of price and performance.
DENSIPOL WO 3025

Densipol WO 3025 is a high-quality defoamer that can be added directly to water-based systems and can be used in a wide pH range with other agents and binders.
It creates a long-lasting effect, and it is a stable product. WO 3025 is a hydro-carbon based defoamer, containing oil-based hydrophobic compounds. It is mineral oil based.
This high-performance, new-generation defoamer, formulated with mineral oils, quickly and permanently removes any foam that has formed, as well as preventing foam formation from the very beginning of the process.
Densipol WO 3025 offers the most ideal solution in terms of quality in terms of price-quality, providing excellent stability and emulsification.

Densipol WO 3025 provides the highest quality foam control during production. It has perfect compatibility with different types of binders such as acrylic, acrylic, alkyd (water based), styrene butadiene and polyvinyl acetate.
It is generally suggested that its 2/3 is used at the beginning of the process, and the rest is used before the binder usage.
The Densipol WO series is a highly successful and favored defoamer with a fast, effective and permanent and anti-foaming performance, high pH strengths and high heat stability, excellent chemical stability, compatibility with other chemicals and low cost.
