Defoaming Coating Additives Industry Growth, Global Size, Opportunities, Key Producers, Share

Defoaming coating additives are specialized chemicals added to coatings and paints to prevent or reduce foam formation during manufacturing, application, or storage. Foam can negatively impact the quality and appearance of coatings by causing surface defects, uneven application, and reduced efficiency during processing. Defoaming additives work by breaking down foam bubbles or preventing their formation, ensuring smooth, uniform coatings with enhanced performance characteristics.

The global defoaming coating additives market was expected to reach USD 1,034.2 million by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.6%. The key players in the defoaming coating additives market are Ashland Inc. (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), BYK Additives & Instruments (Germany), Elementis Plc (U.K.), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (U.S.), and Dow Corning Corporation (U.S.)., among others.

Defoaming coating additives are also called anti-foaming agents and are used in industrial process liquids to reduce the formation of foam. These are special additives that are added to paints and/or coatings to enhance their performance and quality. Defoaming coating additives reduce the formation of macro-foam on the surface and combat large air-entrapments, thus enhancing the quality of finished products.

On the basis of defoamer type, the market is segmented into silicone-based defoamer, mineral oil-based defoamer, vegetable oil-based defoamer, water-based defoamer, polymer-based defoamer, and others. The water-based defoamer segment is expected to account for the second-largest share of the defoaming coating additives market. It is projected to be the fastest-growing type segment of the defoaming coating additives market between 2016 and 2021.
