In the printing industry, ink, as a medium for transmitting images and text, directly affects the quality of the final product. However, in the production and application of ink, foam problem often becomes a big problem. As a professional chemical, ink defoamer came into being to effectively solve the foam problem in ink. This article will provide an overview of the basic concepts, functions, and importance of ink defoamers.

Ink defoamer is a chemical additive specially used to eliminate or inhibit foam in ink. It can quickly destroy the stability of foam and make the foam dissipate quickly, so as to maintain the uniformity and fluidity of the ink, improve the printing quality, reduce the interference of foam on the printing pattern, and make the printed matter clearer and more delicate. Improve production efficiency, avoid problems such as shutdown and cleaning caused by foam, improve production efficiency and equipment utilization, reduce ink waste and defective rate caused by foam, and thus reduce production costs.

There are various components of ink defoamers, each of which endows it with unique properties. Organic silicon, efficient defoaming, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, but attention should be paid to dosage control. Polyether, with good environmental friendliness, is suitable for occasions with high environmental requirements. Mineral oils have a lower cost, but may affect the glossiness and dryness of ink. Ink defoamer can quickly eliminate foam in ink in a short time. Continuously inhibit the production of foam during the use of ink. Compatible with multiple ink systems without affecting the printing performance of the ink.
