Dosage

Defoamer Ubifoam 172 can be added at the rate of 0.1-0.5% of the total mass of the watercolor.

Application

It is recommended to introduce the defoamer Ubifoam 172 in two stages: the first part before the filler and pigments are introduced into the system, the second part at the final stage of paint production.

Compatibility with other additives

Defoamer Ubifoam 172 is compatible with most of the various additives used in water-based paints.

Warning

The composition of the paint and the dosage of the additive should be determined by laboratory tests

Packaging

Additive can be supplied in bulk. Additionally, it is possible to supply in the following ways:
In 26 kg drum;
In 190 kg plastic barrel;
850 kg IBC in tank.

Storage and expiration date  

It should be stored at temperatures between +1°С and +30°С. There may be slight decomposition during long-term storage, which does not affect the quality of the defoamer. To eliminate this, simply mix the defoamer. The expiration date is 12 months from the date of production in the original closed packaging under the specified storage conditions.

Security measures

When applying the defoamer Ubifoam 172, it is necessary to use protective clothing, gloves, glasses and masks and comply with industrial safety rules. Direct contact with eyes and skin should be avoided during storage and use. In case of swallowing, seek medical help immediately. It should be kept away from food.
