Overview

Troysol™ AFP is a high-performance anti-foam and defoaming agent designed to eliminate and prevent foam formation in water-based and solvent-based systems. Developed by Arxada (formerly Troy Corporation), it is formulated with a unique blend of hydrophobic particles and surface-active agents that efficiently knock down both macro and micro-foam. Troysol™ AFP offers long-term foam control without causing surface defects, making it highly suitable for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and other industrial applications. It is compatible with a broad range of formulations, does not compromise film properties, and performs effectively even under high-shear conditions.

Benefits

• Excellent Foam Suppression – Quick knockdown of entrained and surface foam

• Universal Compatibility – Suitable for waterborne, solventborne, and UV-curable systems

• Does Not Affect Clarity – Maintains transparency and gloss in clear systems

• Long-Term Efficiency – Stable performance over storage and application time

• Non-Silicone & Silicone-Compatible Versions Available – Flexible for multiple formulation types

• Low Use Level – Effective in small quantities, reducing formulation cost

Applications

• Architectural & Industrial Coatings – Prevents foam formation during production and application

• Adhesives & Sealants – Maintains clarity and consistency in high-viscosity systems

• Water-Based Inks – Ensures defect-free printing without bubble marks

• Wood Coatings – Provides smooth finishes without craters or pinholes

• Construction Chemicals – Ideal for cementitious and dispersion-based systems

• Textile & Leather Finishes – Prevents foam buildup during processing and application
