Coatings & Inks
Dispersants, defoamers and wetting agents for coatings, paints and printing inks.
Why coatings and inks need surfactants
Coatings, paints and printing inks are complex dispersions — pigments, binders, water and additives that must stay uniform from manufacture to application. Surfactants control pigment wetting, levelling, foam and substrate wetting; getting them wrong shows up as craters, fish-eyes, poor gloss or unstable dispersion.
Our polyether and nonionic components are used where defoaming, levelling and wetting matter most — water-based systems where foam and surface tension are the main enemies of a clean film.
- Defoaming components to prevent foam and pinholes
- Levelling agents for smooth film formation
- Wetting agents for pigment and substrate coverage
Environmental regulation is pushing coatings toward water-based, low-VOC systems, where foam and surface-tension problems become more visible. A robust wetting and defoaming package is therefore part of formulation from the start, not a retrofit, and consistent supply matters across large tinting and production runs.

Application examples
- Water-based coatings — Random Polyether BPE-1600 provides defoaming, levelling and wetting in the can and on the substrate.
- Printing inks — wetting components improve pigment dispersion and transfer, reducing skips and mottling.
- Gloss and flow — balanced hydrophilicity in random polyether helps control surface tension for even flow and gloss development.
- Equipment cleaning — polyether components assist rinse-off and keep lines clean between colour changes.
- Industrial coatings — consistent wetting and defoaming support large production runs and colour-matching programs.
- Finishes on porous substrates — polyether wetting components improve penetration and film uniformity on wood and concrete without craters or fish-eyes.
