Frequently Asked Questions
During mixing, air can become trapped inside mortar and create excessive pores or surface defects. Powder defoamer destabilizes these air bubbles and helps them collapse or escape from the mixture.
A typical recommended dosage for MIKEM Powder Defoamer is approximately 0.1%–0.3% of the dry formulation.
The optimum dosage may vary depending on the application, binder system, other additives and required air content. Laboratory testing is recommended before determining the final formulation.
Powder defoamer can be used in a wide range of cement- and gypsum-based dry-mix products, including:
- Self-leveling compounds
- Non-shrink grouts
- Tile adhesives
- Cement mortars
- Repair mortars
- Renders
- Decorative mortars
- Gypsum-based formulations
The appropriate grade and dosage should be selected according to the specific formulation.
Self-leveling formulations require good flow together with a smooth and uniform finished surface. Excessive entrapped air can create pinholes, craters and other surface defects.
A suitable defoamer helps release unwanted air during mixing and application, contributing to a smoother surface and more compact structure.
Powder defoamer does not directly act as a strength-enhancing additive. However, reducing excessive entrapped air can help create a denser hardened structure.
When correctly dosed, this may contribute to improved mechanical performance and more consistent mortar quality.
When properly selected and dosed, a powder defoamer can help improve processing consistency by controlling excessive foam and trapped air.
However, excessive dosage may influence the balance of the formulation. Compatibility testing with cellulose ethers, redispersible polymer powder, superplasticizers and other additives is recommended.
Yes. Powder defoamers are commonly used in dry-mix formulations containing HPMC, HEMC, redispersible polymer powder (RDP) and other functional additives.
Because different additive combinations can influence air entrainment, the defoamer dosage should be optimized according to the complete formulation rather than evaluated individually.
Yes. Suitable powder defoamer grades can be used in gypsum-based formulations to control unwanted foam and entrapped air.
Compatibility, dosage and required setting or workability characteristics should be evaluated for each specific gypsum system.
