    How To Use DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive can be used as sole defoamer for both grind and let down stages.
    Usage level can be 50 to 70% less than conventional defoamers for comparable or better
    performance.

    In the grind stage, the recommended starting addition level are from 0.03–0.06 (High gloss
    and satin formulations) to 0.06–0.09% (Eggshell or Flat formulations).

    Depending on performance target, an additional 0.03–0.09% addition can be made in the


    Let Down stage.

    A recommended addition level of 0.1–0.25% in the total formulation can usually provide
    adequate defoaming performance.

    Better film appearance may be obtained by adding DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive after the
    thickener in the Let Down Stage.

    DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive can be added directly or pre-diluted with alcohols or polyglycols.
    DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive must be mixed thoroughly before using.

    paint for architectural gloss wall coating. Microbubbles are eliminated with DOWSIL™ 8590
    Additive. Test results show better foam control with DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive after storage
    at 5°C and 50°C.

    Figure 2 and Figure 3: The impact on surface gloss of DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive
    in the same waterborne wall paint is assessed by rolling down onto a tin panel. The
    example here shows DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive does not give negative impact on surface
    gloss in wide range of storage temperature.

    Figure 4: DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive, DOWSIL™ 71 Additive and Competitor 2 at the 0.2
    active weight percent as supplied in a waterborne acrylic styrene flexographic blue ink as
    below. Ink Density reported after shearing 3 minutes at 3500 rpm using dissolver blade.
    This data indicates that DOWSIL™ 8590 Additive also works as excellent defoamer for ink.
