Achieving Surface Perfection in Coatings with Effective Defoamers

Jul 03, 2025

In the coatings industry, foam is more than a visual nuisance—it’s a performance disruptor. Whether during production, packaging, or application, uncontrolled foam can lead to surface defects such as craters, pinholes, and fish eyes. These issues not only compromise the aesthetic and functional properties of coatings but can also result in costly rework and reduced customer satisfaction.


Defoamers play a critical role in managing this challenge. By destabilizing and eliminating foam bubbles, these additives improve film formation, enhance leveling, and support consistent application performance. Selecting the right defoamer is essential, especially in modern water-based and high-solids systems, where formulation compatibility, recoatability, and long-term effectiveness are key considerations.

Rickman offers a comprehensive range of defoamer solutions specifically engineered for architectural coatings, industrial paints, and printing inks. From silicone-based to polymer-based systems, Rickman defoamers ensure rapid foam knockdown, excellent compatibility with various resin systems, and minimal impact on gloss or transparency. These products are formulated to maintain stability over storage and application, making them ideal for high-speed production and demanding end-use conditions.

What sets Rickman apart is not only its product performance, but also its technical support and service capability. With in-house R&D, industry-dedicated formulation guidance, and fast-response customer service, Rickman partners closely with coating manufacturers to tailor the right defoaming strategy for their formulations. Whether addressing microfoam during letdown or macrofoam during application, Rickman delivers solutions that improve coating quality and manufacturing efficiency.
