The "Invisible Guardian" for Waterborne Epoxy Floor Coatings
Introduction
In the production and application of waterborne epoxy floor coatings, foam is a "visible" nuisance, while cratering is an "invisible" hazard. How do you find an additive that delivers powerful defoaming without causing film defects? Today, we share how Anjeka deaerating agent Anjeka-5061 has become a reliable universal solution for formulators.
Customer Pain Point (General Scenario)
A waterborne industrial coatings manufacturer reported that after spray application at customer sites, their epoxy floor coating occasionally developed fine craters (fish-eyes), affecting both appearance and protective performance. Production foam also required multiple defoamer additions to control, adding process complexity.
The Solution
Our technical team recommended that the customer run an A/B comparison test by adding Anjeka-5061 to their existing formulation.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Product Positioning | Deaerating agent specifically designed for waterborne systems |
| Core Function | Delivers excellent foam suppression and defoaming while significantly reducing cratering risk caused by defoamer compatibility issues |
| Applicable Systems | Good compatibility with waterborne epoxy, acrylic, PU, and other resins |
Validation Approach (Reusable Test Method)
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Control Sample (A) | Existing formulation with original defoamer |
| Test Sample (B) | Anjeka-5061 replacing the original defoamer at equal dosage — 0.3% of total formulation |
| Process | Added before grinding per customer's standard process, with thorough dispersion |
| Evaluation | Compare foam levels during production, film leveling, and surface appearance after drying |
Observed Results (Based on Product Mechanism)
-
Production stage: After high-speed dispersion, Test Sample (B) showed significantly less foam — demonstrating superior foam suppression
-
Film appearance: After drying, Test Sample (B) showed a smooth, flat surface with no cratering concerns and uniform gloss
-
Stability: Defoaming performance remained stable after 24 hours of storage
Why Is 5061 the "Invisible Guardian"?
-
Precision balance: Its unique polyether siloxane structure achieves an ideal balance between efficient bubble-breaking and system compatibility
-
Prevention-first approach: Designed to prevent cratering at the source rather than fix it after the fact — especially valuable for waterborne industrial coatings with high appearance standards
-
Application focus: Proven track record in waterborne epoxy floor coatings
