F-09 Defoamer
Defoamer for general use in aqueous systems, specific to water-based flexographic and gravure inks. It acts on the macro-foam and micro-foam that can form in the ink during printing.
Operational Advantages on Press
- Macro and micro-foam: acts on both types of foam formed in the ink during printing.
- Flexible use: used as supplied or diluted with water; it can also be sprayed onto the ink to remove foam already formed.
- Dosage: between 0.05 % and 0.50 %. Do not exceed the maximum dose, as print defects such as craters or fish-eyes may appear.
