Evaluation example

Results of defoaming experiment with NB latex
*The less the foam volume, the better the properties

  • Test result ①(25℃)

  • Test result ②(40℃)

◆Evaluation method

1. Measure 100g of the NBR latex (25℃ or 40℃) in a 500mL graduated cylinder.

2. Bubbling by blowing nitrogen from a G4 glass filter with 0.5L/min flow rate and add 0.5mL of 5 mass% dilution of defoamer when the foam reaches a certain height.

3. Record the foam height.

Diffuser stone test

Applications Information

  • NOPCO NXZ is used in the level of 0.1-0.3 mass% on the solid weight of emulsions and latexes.
  • Mix well before using if NOPCO NXZ separated out after long storage time.
  • NOPCO NXZ can be used directly or diluted with water. In the case of dilution, use under mixing.
