Foam Control Additives
Uncontrolled foam is one of the most common – and costly – issues in paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing. Whether it occurs during high-speed dispersion, mixing, storage, or application, foam can cause defects such as craters, pinholes, poor gloss, air entrapment, and reduced performance. The Chemanova FA-Series Defoamer Line is engineered to deliver targeted foam control in both water-based and solvent-based systems, with specific solutions tailored for economical emulsion paints, high-PVC formulations, industrial solvent coatings, and epoxy/tank linings
Surface Control Additives
In modern coating and ink formulations, achieving a flawless surface is just as critical as color or durability. Surface defects such as craters, pinholes, orange peel, flooding, and poor leveling not only reduce visual quality but can also cause costly product rejections or rework.
The Chemanova SC Series is a dedicated line of surface control additives formulated to solve these challenges across solvent-based coating and printing systems. Each product is purpose-built to deliver specific benefits—ranging from anti-crater and anti-flooding action to slip control, leveling enhancement, and gloss optimization.
Wetting and Dispersing Additives
In modern coating and ink formulations, achieving stable pigment dispersion, optimized color development, and long-term storage stability is critical. Whether in high-performance decorative paints, industrial primers, or printing inks, the choice of dispersing and wetting additives directly impacts gloss, flow, opacity, and processing efficiency.
Chemanova Wetting and Dispersing Additives Series has been specifically engineered to meet the diverse challenges faced in water-based and solvent-based systems across Southeast Asia’s climate and market needs.
Specialty Functional Additives
Chemanova Specialty Functional Additives are designed to provide targeted improvements in formulation performance—whether in stability, durability, or processing control.
Each product in this group delivers a specific functional role—from pH buffering and corrosion inhibition to scratch resistance and emulsification. These additives help formulators achieve cost-effective, user-friendly, and high-performance results across coatings, inks, adhesives, and emulsions.
