Description
ADDAGE Defoamer Powder is a high-performance powdered anti-foaming agent created to eliminate foam-related challenges across diverse industries. Whether in construction, coatings, textiles, or chemical processing, it delivers fast and effective foam suppression while preventing reformation during mixing and application.
Its powdered form sets it apart from liquid alternatives, offering a clean, non-dusting, and free-flowing consistency that disperses easily in water and dry blends, such as mortars, tile adhesives, plasters, and concrete admixtures.
By controlling foam at the right stage, ADDAGE Defoamer Powder enhances surface finishes, strengthens mechanical performance, and ensures a smoother, more durable final product. Its stability and compatibility allow manufacturers to maintain strength and setting time without compromise.
Packaged in 25 kg laminated moisture-proof bags, it stays protected and ready for use. With recommended dosages ranging from 0.3% to 1.0% of the total mix weight, ADDAGE Defoamer Powder is a cost-effective, versatile, and dependable choice, making it a trusted option for long-lasting performance.
