BENEFITS of FOAMSTOP 600N:
*100% solubility in water; no turbidity or haze of the liquid phase in clear systems
*Maintains the defoaming properties over a prolonged period of time
*Filters and spray nozzles will not be blocked whilst using Foamstop 600N
*Effective over a wide pH range (2 to 12)
*Biodegradable
*Foamstop 600N does not contain mineral oil, amines, nitrates or fluorides
*Metal surfaces are readily cleaned by rinsing with tap water
*No paint or plating adhesion problems expected when the defoamer is applied

FUNCTION & MECHANISM OF ACTION
Foamstop 600N is designed as a defoamer/antifoam agent.
Defoamers are additives that reduce and hinder the formation or persistence of foam in liquid systems by destabilizing bubble structure on liquid surfaces.
They typically work by lowering surface tension at the foam interface, promoting rupture of bubbles and preventing the formation of stable foam.

Foamstop 600N achieves this by combining polyalkylene glycols with surface-active components that spread rapidly on liquid surfaces, making the foam lamellae (thin liquid films of foam) unstable so that bubbles collapse.

BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS of FOAMSTOP 600N:
*Key advantages of Foamstop 600N include:
*Fully soluble in water with no turbidity or haze in clear systems, enabling use in transparent formulations.
*Sustained defoaming performance over prolonged periods, reducing the need for frequent re-application.
*Effective across a wide pH range (approximately pH 2 to 12), making Foamstop 600N versatile for acidic to alkaline systems.
*Biodegradable formulation and free of certain undesirables such as mineral oil, amines, nitrates, fluorides, or nitrites, aligning with environmental or regulatory preferences.
*No negative impact on paint adhesion or clarity, avoiding common issues where antifoams cloud or interfere with coatings.
*Water solubility ensures easy incorporation and distribution in aqueous systems.
