key features

  • Defoaming Performance - KF-6000 exhibits excellent defoaming properties. Its surface tension is lower than that of conventional organic defoamers, allowing it to diffuse rapidly within the system and disrupt the foam structure. Testing shows that at a 0.1% addition level, KF-6000's defoaming efficiency is approximately 25% higher than that of organic defoamers, and it maintains stable defoaming performance even in high-viscosity polyurethane systems.


  • Heat and Chemical Resistance - KF-6000 remains stable in high temperatures and harsh chemical environments. Its thermal decomposition temperature exceeds 300°C, and it can maintain structural stability even after long-term exposure to temperatures of 200°C.


  • Foam Suppression - In addition to its defoaming properties, KF-6000 exhibits excellent foam suppression performance from the initial stages of foam formation. Its sustained foam suppression lasts approximately 40% longer than that of conventional organic defoamers. In a continuous stirring experiment, even after 2 hours of high shear conditions, the foam height remained below 5 mm.


  • Chemically stable - KF-6000's molecular structure is extremely chemically inert and virtually unreactive with other substances at room temperature. Experiments have shown that its viscosity fluctuates by less than ±2% within a pH range of 3 to 11, demonstrating its high stability in varying acid and alkaline environments.

application
  • Coatings Industry - In the coatings industry, KF-6000 can be used as a highly effective defoamer and wetting agent. Its low surface tension and excellent defoaming properties effectively reduce bubbles during coating production and application, preventing surface defects such as pinholes and craters. Experimental data shows that adding 0.2% KF-6000 to water-based coatings reduces the surface defect rate of the coating by 30% and significantly improves coating smoothness.


  • Automotive - KF-6000 is primarily used in the formulation of polyurethane sealants and adhesives in automotive manufacturing. Its excellent adhesion and slip properties improve the sealant's application performance in body joints, making it easier to work with and less prone to bubbles. Furthermore, its heat resistance ensures its stability in the long-term high-temperature environments of automobiles, increasing durability by over 20%.


  • Industrial Applications - In the industrial sector, KF-6000 is commonly used as a defoamer and surface modifier, particularly in water-based or solvent-based systems. Its long-lasting foam suppression reduces process interruptions caused by foam in industrial production, improving production efficiency. Industrial application cases show that the use of KF-6000 in papermaking and chemical systems has increased production efficiency by 12% and reduced system maintenance by 15%, significantly reducing operating costs.
