Defoamer

01 Overview

Defoaming agents can eliminate air bubbles in gypsum blocks and increase their strength. Defoamers can eliminate air bubbles in gypsum blocks, thereby increasing their strength. Highly concentrated defoamers require only a small dosage and act rapidly, which helps reduce the production costs of gypsum blocks.

02 Defoamer for Gypsum Blocks

Defoamers for gypsum blocks control unwanted air bubbles generated during mixing and casting. They promote bubble collapse and air release, helping reduce surface pinholes, air voids and unintended internal cavities for a smoother, more compact finish.

Proper use helps improve gypsum block appearance and density uniformity while limiting the adverse effects of excess air on mechanical performance. Increasing the strength of gypsum blocks

Key Benefits

  • Control unwanted air: Defoamer for gypsum, higher efficiency, Reduce unintended bubbles remaining after mixing and casting.
  • Improve surface quality: Minimize pinholes and air voids for a smoother finish.
  • Improve casting consistency: Help achieve more uniform block density and appearance.
  • High solids content, low dosage, cost reduction

03 Questions & Answers

  1. 1
    When should the defoamer be added?

    Add the defoamer during mixing to ensure thorough dispersion. Depending on the product instructions, liquid grades can be added to the mixing water or slurry, Eliminating air bubbles within the gypsum paste results in higher-strength gypsum blocks.

  2. 2
    Does the defoamer need to be diluted?

    No dilution is required; it can be added directly to the slurry, providing defoaming and anti-foaming effects from the very start of the gypsum slurry production process. This makes the process of producing gypsum blocks simpler and more efficient.

  3. 3
    Can it be used with water reducers, retarders and water repellents?

    Defoamers can be used in combination with products such as water reducers, waterproofing agents, and accelerators; however, compatibility must be tested beforehand.
