Troykyd D121, an advanced powder defoamer specifically engineered for dry blend products, is now available from Troy Corporation. Troykyd D121 is a highly efficient, silicone-free powder defoamer for use in cement-based, gypsum-based, and various other dry mix systems. Troykyd D121 promotes excellent air release, which enhances the strength and workability of construction products such as grout, stucco, mortar, joint compounds and adhesives. Additionally, the new advanced defoamer is acid-free and stable in high pH mixtures. As with other Troy Performance Additives, Troykyd D121 offers effectiveness at low use levels, which translates into cost savings for manufacturers.
“In addition to the product’s defoaming performance, Troykyd D121 offers ease-of-use benefits,” said Izzy Colon, vice president/general manager of Performance Additives. “First, the product is a free-flowing powder, so the defoamer can be used with automated dry bulk handling equipment. Second, the fine particle size of D121 enhances dispersibility for greater ease of incorporation. Third, the defoamer is a high bulk density product, so more of the material can be stored in limited space.” The result is a defoamer that offers formulators performance, compatibility, and cost-in-use advantages.
