Selection of UV defoaming agent

Objective: The customer's UV coating requires the selection of a defoaming agent, with the goal of not affecting transparency and having strong defoaming ability


Procedure: Take 10g of the customer's sample paint, add a defoaming agent until it is slightly mixed, and then add another 10g of sample paint; Stir and test for foaming property and compatibility (with a maximum turbidity of 5%)

Defoamer	Dosage		Hand-whipping foaming ability and compatibility					Note
5052	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5053	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5055	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5055A	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5057	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5066N	1%		Slightly turbid, with defoaming and foam-suppressing effects
5088	1%		Slightly turbid, with defoaming and foam-suppressing effects
5141	1%		Slightly turbid, with defoaming and foam-suppressing effects
5300A	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5530	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
5680A	1%		Slight turbidity, with particles precipitating
7356	1%		Clear, without defoaming or foam suppression effect
7358A	1%		Clear, without defoaming or foam suppression effect
7361	1%		Clear, without defoaming or foam suppression effect
7377	1%		Clear, without defoaming or foam suppression effect
7380	1%		Clear, without defoaming or foam suppression effect
7410	1%		Severely turbid, with many bubbles
7422	1%		Clear, without defoaming or foam suppression effect
Key Experiments
Procedure: Select products that showed better compatibility from the previous tests. Determine their dosage that does not adversely affect the appearance. For each selected product, prepare two samples at its minimum (0.1%) and maximum (2.0%) effective dosage. Place each sample in a glass bottle and shake vigorously for 10 minutes. Immediately after shaking, observe and record the following: Foam Generation (amount of foam formed) Defoaming Rate (speed of foam collapse) Compatibility (transparency, haze, or separation)

Item	Dosage 0.1%			Dosage 2%			Note
	Foam Height	Defoaming Time	Compatibility	Foam Height	Defoaming Time	Compatibility	All ratings are on a scale from 0 to 9, with 0 being the best and 9 the worst.
without defoamer	3mm	＞2H	clear and transparent	3mm	＞2H	clear and transparent
1#5066N	2.5mm	＞2H	clear and transparent	1mm	21min	Severely turbid
2#5141	2.5mm	＞2H	clear and transparent	1mm	27min	Severely turbid
3#5088	2.5mm	＞2H	clear and transparent	1mm	55min	Severely turbid

Defoamer 5066N
Foam Height				2mm	1.5mm	1.5mm
Defoaming Time				60min	33min	30min
Compatibility				almost transparent	slightly turbid	slightly turbid
Conclusion
We recommend using 5066N as the UV defoaming agent for this customer, with a recommended dosage of 0.5-1%
