Foam Blast^® 4201

Opaque, White Liquid

Foam Blast 4201 is a 35% active organo-modified silicone antifoam that readily disperses in water-based formulations such as coatings, inks, and paints. This product is compatible with most organic water-based systems and is stable under high shear. Foam Blast 4201 is a highly active defoamer in dispersions and formulations that contain suspended particles, such as pigment grinds for water-based inks, coatings, and paints.

Product	Description
Foam Blast® 295	55% active emulsion designed for excellent clarity and compatibility. Developed for use as a foam control agent for aqueous systems such as printing fountain solutions, aqueous resins, and surfactant systems. Does not create haze and does not separate and form a ring or surface layer.
Foam Blast® 552	50% active emulsion designed for quick and long term foam control in metalworking fluids, water-based hydraulics, soluble oil and semi-synthetic fluids. Good compatibility in most semi-synthetic and soluble oil metalworking concentrates.
Foam Blast® 554	30% active, cost effective emulsion designed for quick and long term foam control in metalworking lubricants, water-based hydraulics, synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids and heavy duty detergents. For coatings, controls foam both in pigment grind and in the let-down. Can be pre-diluted with a solvent or a component of the coating for each of incorporation.
Foam Blast® 4201	35% active emulsion workhorse with minimal impact on gloss or clarity. Compatible with most organic water-based systems and stable under high shear. Suited for liquids that contain suspended particles such as pigment grinds for water-based inks, coatings and paints. Ages well in inks and coatings, maintaining its effectiveness over a long period of time.
Foam Blast® 4205	100% active workhorse for semi-gloss and high gloss formulations. Works well at both grind and let down to control micro-foam and macro-foam. Provides leveling effects for high film smoothness and recovery after foam tap testing.
