Cognis starts production of high-performance defoamers at new Chinese facility

22-Feb-2005

Cognis announced that its new defoamer manufacturing facility in Jinshan city near Shanghai, China, is now operational. The new plant, which took six months to build, will produce Cognis' FoamasterTM range of defoamers, which are used in low-VOC, solvent-free aqueous latex dispersions, water-reducible coatings and adhesives and other industrial applications.

Cognis' Foamaster range of defoamers is based on technology developed by Henkel and Diamond Shamrock Chemicals (formerly Nopco). Since aqueous polymer dispersions first appeared in the market, Cognis has been gradually improving these products by seeking partners in the polymerization industry and working in conjunction with its paints, inks and adhesives customers.
