Gypsum Defoamer for Defoaming Agent Widely Used in Concrete

Overview of Gypsum Defoamer

Gypsum defoamers are chemical additives specifically designed to reduce or eliminate foam generated during the preparation and application of gypsum slurries. The presence of foam affects the quality and construction efficiency of gypsum products, so the use of defoamers can significantly improve the performance of the final product and the construction experience.
Definition: gypsum defoamers are a class of chemical substances that can quickly destroy and prevent foam formation and are widely used in the production and construction of gypsum mortar, gypsum board and other products.
Mechanism of action:
Foam-breaking effect: reducing the surface tension of the bubble film makes the bubbles burst.
Foam-suppressing action: preventing the formation of new foams, ensuring the stability and homogeneity of the mixture.

Advantages of Gypsum Defoamer

No oil bleaching, no suspension, suitable for anion and cation systems, alkali resistance, defoaming, long foam suppression, wide application, good defoaming and foam suppression effects. 

Gypsum Defoamer overcomes the common organic silicon defoamers that are prone to oil floating, demulsification, and floating under high temperatures and alkaline conditions. The gypsum defoamer is particularly suitable for defoaming and foam suppression under alkaline conditions, high-temperature resistance, strong alkali resistance, and strong stability.

Data of Gypsum Defoamer

Product Name	Additive Amount	Apperance	Product Usage
Gypsum Defoamer	0.05%	White powder	It has good dispersibility and rapid defoaming in cement mortar system, making concrete products more dense.

Application of Gypsum Defoamer

Gypsum mortar: used in internal and external wall plastering, floor leveling, self-leveling, etc., to ensure fluidity and flatness during the construction process.
Gypsum board production: in the gypsum board production line, to prevent excessive foam during mixing and pouring and ensure the quality of the board.
Repair materials: for crack repair, hole filling, etc., to ensure the denseness and strength of repair materials.
Decorative materials: such as gypsum lines, reliefs and other fine components to avoid surface defects caused by foam.

FAQs

Q1: What is the principle of gypsum defoaming agent?

Answer: 

The principle of gypsum defoamer is to reduce the surface tension of gypsum slurry, making it easier for bubbles to burst and be eliminated. The active ingredients in the defoaming agent can be adsorbed on the surface of the bubbles, reducing the surface tension and reducing the viscosity of the gypsum slurry, making it easier for the bubbles to merge and be eliminated.

Q2: What types of gypsum defoamer are there?

Answer: 

There are many different types of gypsum defoamer, including mineral oil, silicone, polyether, etc. Different types of defoaming agents have different chemical compositions and performance characteristics, and the appropriate type should be selected according to needs.

Q3: How to use gypsum defoamer?

Answer: 

When using gypsum defoamer, the defoamer should be added to the gypsum slurry in the proportion required by the instructions and stirred thoroughly. Before use, shake evenly to avoid sedimentation. After use, it should be sealed and stored away from direct sunlight and humid environment.

Q4: How to choose a suitable gypsum defoamer?

Answer: 

When choosing a suitable gypsum defoamer, you need to consider the following aspects: first, choose a suitable defoamer according to the type and purpose of gypsum that needs to eliminate bubbles; second, choose a product with reliable quality and good brand reputation; finally, according to Follow the recommended proportions and usage instructions in the instruction manual.

Q5: What are the precautions for using gypsum defoamer?

Answer: 

When using gypsum defoamer, you should pay attention to the following points: first, choose the appropriate type and amount of defoamer; second, avoid mixing it with water or other solvents; finally, store it in a cool and dry place to avoid Direct sunlight and humid environment.
