Technical Data Sheet
FoamStar® ST 2410
Product description FoamStar ST 2410 represents a novel series of defoamers based on new defoamer chemistry. It is the
first new defoamer chemistry in over 30 years.
FoamStar is a defoaming molecule that defoams by a different mechanism. Unlike conventional
defoamers (mineral oil or silicone), FoamStar defoams on a molecular level. It also has wetting
properties not found in other conventional defoamers.
Key benefits Defoams at the molecular level
Has wetting properties not found in other conventional defoamers
Chemical nature Molecule compounded in an enhanced mineral-oil system

Application
FoamStarST 2410 has the following advantages:
• Use 1/3 - 1/2 Less Defoamer
• Save at least 20 % on Defoamer Costs
• Non-separating & non-settling
• Extremely Effective in Low VOC coatings.
• Very Fast bubble-break versus conventional defoamers
• Effective against Micro-foam

Formulation guideline In the grind portion of a flat paint formula, use 0.25 - 0.50 pounds of FoamStar ST 2410 per 100 gallons.
In semi-gloss paint grind, use 0.50 - 1.0 pounds of FoamStar ST 2410 per 100 gallons. The rest of the
FoamStar ST 2410 addition can be made to the letdown. FoamStar ST 2410 will be equally effective in
both the letdown and the grind.
Storage
FoamStar ST 2410 is subject to appropriate storage under the usual storage and temperature conditions,
our products are durable for at least 1 year. FoamStar ST 2410 is shipped in 55gallon (200 liter) steel
drums and plastic tote tanks. If subjected to below freezing temperatures, product may congeal or
stratify. Warm to room temperature and mix well before using.
