Defoaming additives are chemical agents that eliminate or prevent foam in manufacturing processes by disrupting surface tension, collapsing bubbles, or inhibiting their formation. Commonly used in composites, coatings, and adhesives, they improve surface quality, enhance efficiency, and ensure consistent, defect-free materials.
Standard silicone-based defoamer with good compatibility, prevent foams and accelerate release of air from systems.
Silicone-based defoamer with excellent defoaming property. Can be used in most systems and combined with other deaerators or defoamers. No negative influence on surface adhesion. Can be used in transparent systems due to good compatibility.
Mixture of modified siloxane and foam destroying polymer, Suitable for coating, sealants, adhesives and plastic systems. Particularly recommended for epoxy resin systems.
Universal and benchmark defoamer developed for composite industry. Suitable for most applications and process, excellent deaerating property, can be combined with VATIX 1058.
Acrylic-based defoamer with strong deaerating property. Prevent micro-foams retention meanwhile promote surface leveling.
Deaerator and defoamer for transparent coating and composite systems where silicone should be avoided.
Defoamer based on multiple functional polymers. Promote surface leveling without negative influence on surface adhesion. Can be used as VATIX 1035 alternative in odor-free systems.
Suitable for high viscosity and thixotropic systems. Excellent wetting property for glass fibers to promote mechanical property for finished products.
Solvent-free and silicone-free defoamer with strong air release property.
Deaerator and defoamer with hydrophobic fume silica for high viscosity systems.
Wetting and dispersing additives improve the distribution and stabilization of solid particles, such as pigments or fillers, in liquid systems. They enhance the wetting of particle surfaces, prevent agglomeration, and ensure uniform dispersion, resulting in better consistency, flow, and performance in composites, coatings, and adhesives.
Cost effective phosphate-based wetting and dispersing additive for fillers in composite systems, particular for phenolic systems due to high tolerance of water released.
Developed for hard sediment prevention / anti-caking in coating and composite systems for fillers and inorganic pigments. Particularly suitable for systems as ceramic and copper clad laminate where treatment process is essential.
Dramatically reduce system viscosity and improve flow property, excellent for highly filled systems. Aromatic solvent free.
Cost-saving version of VATIX 2015. Can be combined with VATIX 2015 and/or VATIX 2017.
Standard wetting and dispersing additive for filler and inorganic pigments. Dramatically reduce system viscosity and improve flow property for highly filled systems. VOC free. Can be used in solvent-free and odor-free systems.
Developed for colored systems containing pigment concentrates. Improve color strength and homogeneity. Prevent flooding and floating. Can be used as post added additive. Compatible with any VATIX 2010 series product.
Wetting and dispersing additive especially developed for ambient curing systems. Excellent anti-settling effect.
To prevent floating, flooding and filler settlement.
Universal dispersing additive, effectively wetting and stabilize fillers, inorganic and organic pigments such as phthalocyanines, organic red as well as carbon black. Reduce system viscosity, improve color strength, surface gloss and color homogeneity.
Wetting and dispersing additive with excellent compatibility, excellent for acidic and neutral surface treated carbon blacks.
Modified version based on VATIX 2080 for improved stabilization for basic surface treated fillers and pigments.
High molecular weight non-ionic block polymer, very effective for acidic carbon blacks. Can be used for universal pigment concentrate preparation. Can be used in water-borne systems. Superior resin compatibility. VOC free.
High molecular weight block polymeric dispersing additive. Improve wetting for glass fibers. Can be used for pigments and low shrink agent as polystyrene, effectively prevent phase separation.
Containing reversed polar fragment than VATIX 2072. Wetting and stabilize low shrink agent, prevent phase separation, can be combined with VATIX 2072. Better system flow behavior and surface quality are often additional benefits.
Leveling additives are used to improve the surface smoothness and uniformity of liquid coatings, adhesives, or composite resins as they cure or dry. They help eliminate defects like brush marks, uneven layers, or craters, ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish with enhanced appearance and performance.
Promote leveling and surface quality in UP, PU, Epoxy systems. Assist to release air bubble in many systems. No influence on coating adhesion.
Promote substrate wetting, reduce pinholes and cratering without negative influence on coating and internal adhesion.
Processing additives are used to enhance the efficiency and ease of manufacturing processes. They improve material handling, flow, and compatibility, reduce processing issues like sticking or clogging, and ensure consistent product quality. Commonly used in composites, adhesives, and coatings, they help optimize production and reduce downtime.
