Foam Suppressant SX-OPT 02 is designed to reduce foam formation in the paint and coatings industry. It effectively suppresses air bubbles and provides high-quality coatings. Foam Suppressant SX-OPT 02 has a purity of ≥99%, a viscosity of 1000–2000 cP, and a pH of 6.0–8.0. It is widely used in paint production, coatings, metal surface coating, and wood processing. Foam Suppressant SX-OPT 02 from Global Optimals is a high-quality product that meets all necessary technical requirements. SX-OPT 02 belongs to the class of low‑activity surfactants that migrate rapidly to the air‑liquid interface and destabilize the thin film surrounding bubbles. Chemically it is a blend of non‑volatile alcohol‑ethers and polymeric modifiers, which remain inert toward common paint ingredients such as resins, solvents, and pigments. Its neutral pH range (6.0‑8.0) makes it compatible with both water‑based and emulsion systems without causing discoloration or viscosity shifts. In typical production lines the suppressant is introduced before pigment dispersion, usually at 0.05‑0.2 % of the total batch volume, allowing effective foam control even at high shear rates. When used in spray‑gun or atomization equipment, SX-OPT 02 prevents the formation of a “foam cap” on nozzles, improving spray stability and delivering a uniform film. The additive is also suitable for primers and clear coats where high solvent content could otherwise promote excessive foaming; its low volatility ensures prolonged action throughout the drying cycle. For storage, maintain temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C and protect from direct sunlight to preserve viscosity. If dilution is required, de‑ionized water can be used in small amounts, but excessive dilution may reduce foam‑suppression efficiency. Overall, SX-OPT 02 offers reliable foam control, enhances line productivity, and reduces the incidence of coating defects, making it especially valuable in automotive finishes, furniture laminates, and industrial anti‑corrosion systems.

Store Foam Suppressant SX-OPT 02 in a dry, well‑ventilated area protected from direct sunlight and heat sources. Maintain ambient temperature roughly between +5 °C and +30 °C and avoid rapid temperature fluctuations. Shelf life is indicated on the label, typically 12–24 months when the packaging remains intact. Use protective gloves and safety glasses during handling, preventing skin or eye contact. During transport and storage ensure the containers are undamaged and sealed to prevent leaks.
