Defoamers & Deaerators

ADDSiL™ Silicone Defoamers and KOBOND™ Silicone-Free Defoamers provide complementary foam control solutions for coatings, inks, adhesives, construction materials, and related industrial systems.

ADDSiL™ Silicone Defoamers are designed for efficient foam suppression and deaeration performance across waterborne, solvent-based, high-solid, and solvent-free systems. Depending on the product structure and formulation design, selected grades can provide rapid foam knockdown, good persistence, effective microfoam control, and low dosage efficiency. Certain grades are optimized to balance defoaming performance with compatibility and reduced surface defects.

ADDSiL™ Silicone Defoamers portfolio includes silicone emulsion defoamers, silicone compound defoamers, and specialty defoaming technologies suitable for pigment grinding, high-shear processing, industrial coatings, architectural coatings, and construction applications.

KOBOND™ Silicone-Free Defoamers are developed for formulations where silicone-free systems are preferred, particularly in applications sensitive to surface defects, intercoat adhesion, or recoating performance. These products can provide effective macrofoam and microfoam control while maintaining good compatibility and surface appearance.

KOBOND™ Silicone-Free Defoaming technologies are widely used in coatings, printing inks, overprint varnishes, adhesives, and specialty industrial systems requiring controlled surface properties and reduced silicone sensitivity.

Together, ADDSiL™ and KOBOND™ defoaming technologies provide flexible solutions for modern industrial formulations requiring reliable foam control, process stability, and optimized surface performance.
