BASF introduces new Foamaster WO 2360 defoamer, compliant with China's food contact regulation GB 9685-2016 for adhesives
LUDWIGSBURG, Germany, Oct. 10, 2019 (Press Release) -
First defoamer in the market that complies with China's food contact regulation GB 9685-2016 for adhesives
The new defoamer also complies with major food contact regulations for polymer dispersions, paper coatings, and PSA adhesives and coatings for functional packaging
BASF is proud to introduce a new defoamer – Foamaster WO 2360, which is compliant with China's food contact regulation GB 9685-2016 for adhesives and major food contact regulations such as Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 21, Food Contact Materials Regulation (EC), Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (BfR) and Swiss Ordinance on Food Contact Materials for packaging.
China's National Food Safety Standard GB 9685-2016 governs the use of additives in food contact materials and their products. It was introduced by China's National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC), which came into force in October 2017.
The new white oil-based defoamer demonstrates excellent and persistent defoaming efficiency, excellent compatibility across acrylic PSA systems and good oil-slick resistance during storage for adhesive formulations. When applied in paper coatings, Foamaster WO 2360 also exhibits excellent defoaming efficiency coupled by good anti-foaming and fast foam break time.
The versatility of Foamaster WO 2360 makes it widely applicable for paper coating formulations, barrier coatings, paper and paperboard applications that all require contact with food. This, in turn, removes the need for customers to carry multiple defoamers in its inventory.

Superior online visibility and temperature analysis for lime kilns
It is now possible to visually evaluate flame shape and size, as well as view temperature profile – all at a glance using a new monitoring system for lime kilns. With the use of process controls, the new system provides the opportunity to optimize combustion, improve reburned lime quality, and reduce emissions. Consisting of an HD camera paired with a high-resolution thermal sensor, the new system provides real-time product temperature measurements for comprehensive observation and analysis of kiln environments. Find out how you can improve overall performance of the lime kiln, reduce maintenance costs and have greater visibility during start-up with the Valmet Visible Thermal Imaging System. Find out how it works for you.
