Choose the appropriate defoamer based on the type of ink, printing process, and environmental conditions. Determine the optimal addition amount according to the manufacturer's recommended ratio or through experimentation to avoid excess or deficiency. Usually added after the ink is stirred evenly and before printing to ensure that the defoamer is fully dispersed in the ink. After adding the defoamer, the ink should be thoroughly stirred to ensure even distribution of the defoamer.
Avoid direct contact with other chemical additives to prevent reactions. Store in a dry, cool, well ventilated place and avoid direct sunlight. Before use, carefully read the product manual and understand the safety precautions for use.
With the rapid development of the printing industry and increasingly strict environmental regulations, the ink defoamer market is showing the following trends:
Low VOC, biodegradable ink defoamers have become the mainstream in the market. Defoamers are gradually developing towards multifunctional directions such as dispersants and wetting agents, improving the overall printing effect. Utilizing intelligent technology to optimize the formulation and usage of defoamers, improving printing efficiency and quality.
After a printing enterprise adopted a new environment-friendly ink defoamer, the ink foam problem was significantly improved, and the quality of printed products was significantly improved. At the same time, due to its low VOC characteristics, the defoamer meets the environmental protection requirements of enterprises and has won wide recognition from the market and customers.
