Water based ink defoamer is an auxiliary agent used in the production of water-based ink. Water based ink is an environmentally friendly ink that is widely used in the printing industry due to its absence of harmful solvents and its friendliness to the environment and human health. However, in the production process of water-based ink, due to the presence of surfactants and other additives in the ink, a large number of foam are often produced, which will affect the quality of the ink and the printing effect. At this time, it is necessary to use water-based ink defoamer to remove these foam.
The main function of water-based ink defoamer is to destroy the surface tension of foam, make it burst and disappear quickly, so as to achieve the effect of removing foam. Defoamer is usually a kind of surfactant, which can form a film on the liquid surface, change the surface tension of the liquid, and make foam become unstable and eventually disappear. Defoamer can also prevent the accumulation and diffusion of foam in the ink production process, and maintain the stability and uniformity of the ink.
In the production process of water-based ink, adding an appropriate amount of defoamer can not only improve the quality and printing effect of the ink, but also improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. Because the existence of foam will lead to equipment blockage, unstable production process and other problems, the use of defoamer can effectively solve these problems and ensure the smooth production.
