Product name:Silicone Deaerator for Waterborne Coatings and Inks

Product code: NV-DF 9049

Chemical Characterization: Polyether-silicone copolymer compound containing fumed silica

Product Description

NV-DF9049 is a 100% active silicone-based deaerating additive specially designed for waterborne coating and ink formulations. It is based on a polyether-silicone copolymer containing fumed silica and provides effective deaeration and micro-foam control.

NV-DF9049 is widely applicable to waterborne clear and pigmented formulations, particularly emulsion-based systems such as pure acrylic, styrene-acrylic, vinyl, and EVA emulsions. It is also suitable for hybrid systems, waterborne epoxy systems, and other waterborne resin formulations.

The product is particularly suitable for airless spray formulations and can effectively help prevent and eliminate micro-bubbles generated during processing and application.

Application Guide

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage is based on the total formulation weight:

Architectural Coatings: 0.2–0.8%

High-Solid-Content Clear Coatings: 0.5–1.5%

Printing Inks & Varnishes: 0.1–0.5%

Wood & Furniture Coatings: 0.2–0.8%

Industrial Coatings: 0.1–0.5%

Automotive Coatings: 0.1–0.8%

The optimum dosage should be determined through laboratory testing according to the specific formulation.

Handling & Incorporation

Mixing Before Use: Stir thoroughly before use.

High-Shear Mixing: The product should be incorporated under sufficient high shear to ensure uniform distribution and effective performance.

Pre-Dilution: Pre-dilution with a recommended solvent may facilitate incorporation and mixing.

Addition: The product should be properly dispersed throughout the formulation to achieve optimum deaeration performance.

Handling & Precautions

As the product contains active hydrophobic particles, product homogeneity is critical; always mix or agitate the drum thoroughly prior to each dispensing loop.

Avoid direct eye contact.

Storage：

Temperature Range: Keep stored within sealed factory packaging between 5℃ and 40℃. Protect from freezing and direct extreme heat sources.

Shelf Life: Stable for up to 12 months from the date of chemical packaging under proper tightly closed conditions.
