Foam Blast® 386

Translucent Yellow Liquid

Foam Blast 386 is a highly effective mineral defoamer for water-based inks and coatings. Foam Blast 386 is a 100% active foam control agent. Foam Blast 386 has shown good results in water-based acrylics and adhesives. Foam Blast 386 has shown excellent performance in pigment grinds, whether it involves grinding chips or pigment dispersions into a resin. Unlike silicones and silicone emulsions, Foam Blast 386 can be used in the grind in one shot without the usual detrimental effects.
