【Description】:

CLiQSMART 111 is a mineral oil and silicone-free multipurpose defoamer for aqueous systems. The highly efficient defoamer with excellent storage stability is almost VOC-free and often formulated in modern VOC-compliant formulations that meet the most stringent TÜV requirements.

CLiQSMART 111 is used in pigment concentrates, mid-to-high pvc decorative paints as well as in latex based construction systems and adhesives to reduce both production and application foam. It provides excellent defoaming efficiency with common binders like pure acrylics, styrene acrylics, VeoVa or VA/E.

CLiQSMART 111 gives excellent long term defoaming efficiency also at higher storage temperatures. It shows no to minor influence on other paint properties like storage stability, gloss or re-coat ability.

【Level of Use】:

CLiQSMART 111 is best used in pigmented systems where sufficient incorporation shear is available. The optimum loading level should be determined for each system using a loading ladder study. A loading between 0.05 - 1.00 % based on total is typically required to achieve the desired defoaming efficiency.

CLiQSMART 111 used in latex paints is typically added in two steps; 2/3 of the amount is added in the grinding stage and 1/3 in the let-down stage during mixing.

CLiQSMART 111 is easy to use and shows minor influence on other system properties. Similar to other defoamers it is suggested to evaluate the compatibility of the product in each individual formulation.
