Paint Defoamers Market: Additive that eliminate foam
·
Defoamer for paint and coatings is an additive that eliminates
foam during application of paint and contributes to achieve even coating that
is free from defects. Foam present in the paints is known to cause coating
flaws such as fisheyes, popping, cratering, and depressions. Therefore, it is
important for defoamers used in paint and coatings (or ink) to eliminate these
defects while offering defoaming properties.
·
It is virtually impossible to escape the occurrence of potential
foam stabilizing substances in coatings systems, and hence, defoamers are
employed to avoid the formation of foam and/or to destroy (as rapidly as
possible) foam that has already been formed.
·
A defoamer decreases and restricts the development of foam, a
matter generated due to the trapping of gas in a liquid or solid, such as
paints and coatings. Defoamers display surface active properties and are not
soluble in a foaming medium. An important characteristic of a defoamer is its
low viscosity and ability to disperse rapidly on foamy surfaces.
Key
drivers of paint defoamers market
·
Significant expansion of the paints & coatings industry,
owing to a shift in the demand toward decorative paints, is expected boost the
demand for paint defoamers in near future. Expansion of the paints &
coatings sector at a high growth rate is primarily characterized by the booming
automotive industry across the world coupled with expansion of the construction
sector across the globe.
·
Technological advancements and innovations in material sciences
and monitoring the performance of defoamers have driven its use in paints &
coatings applications.
·
VOC-free defoamers act as a major substitute and an economical
alternative to different mineral oil defoamers. In 2017, a leading coating
additives supplier, BYK Additives & Instruments, launched a new products
BYK-1788 and BYK-1799 anti-foam solutions useful for coating systems for
UV-radiation curing.

Silicone
defoamers segment to offer attractive opportunities
·
Rising preference for water-borne paints and coatings among
consumers, instead of oil based paints and coatings, is expected to provide
lucrative opportunities for the use of silicone defoamers in the paint and
coatings industry.
·
Silicone defoamers are extensively utilized in modern waterborne
coatings and printing inks, owing to the anti-foaming characteristics of
defoamers, which in turn is expected to propel the demand for silicone
defoamers during the forecast period. Silicone anti-foam exhibits various
properties such as remarkable reactivity with various process ingredients,
longer operational lifespan, and high insolubility, thus offering high quality
surface finish. Consequently, this product is extensively used in the paints
& coatings industry. Additionally, silicone defoamers have lower surface
tension, as compared to that of other organic products, which helps the paints
to spread more.
·
Increasing applications of silicone defoamers in paints and
coatings is expected to propel the global paints defoamers market. However, use
of non-silicone defoamers in the paints industry is increasing as they are less
toxic and biodegradable. Cumulatively, these developments are boosting the global
paint defoamers market.
Intense competition from counterparts and stringent regulations
to hamper market
·
However, stringent regulations have been imposed on the use of
defoamers, specifically containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Moreover,
issues pertaining to health, which may be amplified by the use of certain
defoamers, is likely to hamper the global paint defoamers market.
·
Stringent policies and regulations laid down by governments on
the use of silicone defoamers in paints and coatings applications and the
availability of internal substitutes, such as oil-based defoamers, water-based
defoamers and other types of defoamers, are expected to restrain the silicone
defoamer segment of the market to some extent in the near future.

Asia Pacific expected to hold significant share in the global
paint defoamers market
·
In terms of region, the global paint defoamers market can be
split into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America,
and Middle East & Africa.
·
Asia Pacific is a leading consumer of paint defoamers, followed
by Europe and North America. Rising demand for automotive coatings in Germany,
the U.S., China, Japan, and South Korea is expected to fuel the demand for
paint defoamers during the forecast period. Moreover, rising demand for
nitrocellulose-based lacquers in the building & construction industry
across developing countries in Asia Pacific, such as China, India, Indonesia,
and Vietnam, is expected to offer significant opportunity to the manufacturers
of paint defoamers operating in the region.
·
Asia Pacific is a prominent market for paint defoamers,
globally. Water-based anti-foaming agents are increasingly being preferred, as
compared to silicone-based defoamers, in the emerging markets, since they are
cost-effective and have high de-aerating effect. Rising demand for defoamers
for paints, in emerging economies in Asia Pacific, such as China, is attributed
to the rapid pace of industrialization in these countries. Stringent regulatory
requirements against the use of VOC in paints and additives have driven the
demand for environmental-friendly defoamers in North America and Europe.
