Water-based antifoaming agents formulated to control foaming in glazes, engobes and ceramic suspensions, improving stability and surface quality.
The technical layer that stabilizes the process
During the agitation, pumping, or grinding of glazes and slips, foaming is common and can affect the homogeneity of the system, leading to surface defects in the final piece.
Our defoamers are formulated to eliminate and prevent foaming without significantly altering the rheology or stability of the system.
Antifoaming agents for nail polish
They eliminate foam generated during grinding, storage, and application.
Defoamers for slips
They facilitate deaeration (eliminate trapped air) in agitation and pumping processes.
Systems with low organic content
Especially suitable for formulations containing CMC and binders.
Reduces surface bubbles and defects in the final part.
It maintains homogeneity without significantly affecting viscosity.
Optimizes pumping, grinding, and online application.
Adjusted according to composition and actual factory conditions.

Agitation, grinding, and pumping incorporate air into the system, generating foam that can affect stability and finish.
Not significantly. It is formulated to control foam without altering the rheological behavior.
Its function is preventative; it helps to reduce surface defects associated with bubbles or trapped air.
Yes. We selected the appropriate antifoaming agent to ensure compatibility with the rest of the formulation.
Everything you need to know about ceramic defoamers
Foam control and prevention of surface defects in ceramics.
Ceramic defoamers are vital technical additives designed to prevent and eliminate trapped air in aqueous suspensions such as glazes, engobes, and slips. During industrial agitation, pumping, and grinding processes, foam generation is a critical issue that compromises fluid homogeneity. If left uncontrolled, these bubbles transfer to the tile surface, causing visible defects such as pinholes or craters after firing.
Integrating a high-performance defoaming agent guarantees a smooth and continuous application, optimizing the quality of the final product. At Kerafrit, we formulate solutions that act quickly and effectively, breaking the surface tension of the bubbles without altering the rheology, viscosity, or chemical stability of the other components in the production line.
