NOPTAM 3000S
Product name NOPTAM 3000S
Composition A mixture of hydrophobic silica, mineral oil, nonionic surfactants, etc.
Characteristics  ① Excellent workability and stability in water dilution
② As sufficient defoaming effects can be obtained using small amounts, there is little influence on the system. With particularly remarkable defoaming performance under high temperatures, it eliminates declines in productivity caused by foams generated under high temperatures during the removal of solvents and monomers in the production of latexes and emulsions.
③ Due to its exceptional dispersing performance with latexes and emulsions, there is little cratering caused by defoamers, and thus resulting in a beautiful coating film.
④ Its low viscosity makes it easy to handle in low temperatures.

NOPTAM 3000S offers excellent defoaming performance especially at high temperatures (80℃).

  • ◆(1)Defoaming experiment (Foam-breaking experiment with NB latex)
              Evaluation temperature: 80℃

  • (2)Defoaming experiment (Foam-suppressing experiment with NB latex)
           Evaluation temperature: 80℃

Evaluation method

Diffuser stone test
Foam-breaking experiment: Measure 30 mL of the test solution in a 100mL graduated cylinder and aerate nitrogen in the liquid. When the foam reaches 100 mL, add the defoamer and measure the height of the foam as time elapses. Foam-suppressing experiment: Measure 30 mL of the test solution in a 100mL graduated cylinder. After adding the defoamer, aerate nitrogen in the liquid and measure the height of the foam as time elapses.

Examples of use

Usage
・NOPTAM 3000S separates over time. Mix well before usage. ・Add NOPTAM 3000S to the undiluted solution or after water dilusion. ・The standard amounts of NOPTAM 3000S added are as follows: 0.005~0.2% by weight for latex (0.1~0.5% by weight for emulsion, 0.2~1.0% by weight for aqueous coatings, 0.1~0.3% by weight for water soluble resins) ・When using as a water diluting liquid, gradually add NOPTAM 3000S to water while stirring constantly (agitate using a stirrer or a paddle-type mixing impeller) and adjust the concentration to 1~30% by weight. Dilute only the necessary quantity before usage. As the diluted solution will begin to separate at around 1~3h if left unagitated, use while lightly mixing until homogeneous.
