LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products (NYSE: APD) will introduce the latest additions to its
innovative portfolio of defoamers—Airase® 4750V and 4800
defoamers—at the Eastern Coatings Show in Atlantic City, N.J., from June 1-4.
Air Products' Airase 4750V and 4800 oil-based defoamers are
effective foam control additives for use in a wide variety of
applications, including architectural and industrial coatings,
inks, and adhesives. Airase 4750V is a proprietary vegetable
oil-based defoamer, whereas Airase 4800 is a 100% active, mineral
oil-based defoamer. Both defoamers are designed for excellent film
compatibility with sustained, long-term defoaming performance and
are currently available in North
America.
"With the launch of these new Airase defoamers, we continue to
expand our defoamer offering so that we are able to offer
formulators a wide variety of options to address their foam control
needs," said Chris Henkee, global marketing manager, Additives, for
Air Products. "With defoamers based on mineral oils, organic oils,
siloxanes, and Air Products' own unique Gemini molecules, we are
able to offer the formulator a means to quickly optimize
formulation performance, minimize reformulation time and
effort, keep formulation costs under control, or simply
use products with specific qualities that can limit certain
environmental effects."
Air Products will also highlight its portfolio of
Dynol™ superwetting surfactants, which provide both
low equilibrium and dynamic wetting and are engineered for system
compatibility as well as contributing little or no foam. Uniquely,
Air Products is proud to offer four different classes of
superwetters, each class with different attributes based on the
nature of the superwetting surfactant molecules employed. The Dynol
superwetting surfactants are particularly useful in formulations
designed to be used in high speed applications or to wet
difficult-to-wet surfaces such as plastics, wood, or even
oil-contaminated metals.
Air Products also offers a complete line of high performance
ZetaSperse® dispersants for resin-free and
resin-containing systems as well as a variety of performance
enhancing additives for dispersion formulation. To better
enable formulators in choosing the right dispersant, Air Products
has developed the Formulators Assistant ZetaSperse Tool (FAZT),
which sets forth product recommendations and dispersion starting
point formulations. Visit www.FAZT.com today to access
this tool online or from your mobile platform.
