When compared to the standard sulphosuccinate (Lanwet JH1), Lansperse SUN10 showed comparable wetting properties but with the added benefit of very low foam generation. Additionally, the favourable labelling of Lansperse SUN10 makes it a compelling choice for use as a substrate wetter in a wide range of coating applications.

This work has highlighted that the biobased range of products are suitable as dispersing agents for Pigment Red 101 red iron oxides.

At present Lankem, have two oil-based defoamers that have the potential to be utilised in the paper manufacturing process.
