Product Description

Anti-Foaming Agent – Reduce Bubbles & Improve Paint Smoothness

The Anti-Foaming Agent is a food-grade additive designed to control foaming and bubbling during the mixing of Real Milk Paint®. When the paint is vigorously blended, air can become trapped in the mixture, creating a foamy head that makes pigment dispersion and application more challenging. This additive breaks surface tension so pigments blend easily into water, resulting in a smoother, more consistent paint texture.

By reducing unwanted surface bubbles, it also helps prevent raised bumps and imperfections on wood surfaces, especially when applying multiple coats. Formulated for easy use in Real Milk Paint®, this additive promotes cleaner mixing, better color uniformity, and a smoother finished appearance.

Key Benefits

Reduces Foaming & Bubbling: Helps eliminate the frothy “head” that can appear when milk paint is strongly agitated.
Improves Pigment Dispersion: Ensures powders blend thoroughly, especially colors that normally float during mixing.
Smooths Final Texture: Minimizes surface bubbles that can cause bumps or defects on paint films.
Easy to Use: A few drops added directly into the paint mixture can dramatically improve consistency and workflow.

Suitable Uses

Mixing Real Milk Paint®: Ideal for pigments that resist dispersion or tend to float.
Smoother Brush or Roller Application: Helps reduce surface bubbles that form during application.
Wood Furniture & Decorative Pieces: Enhances the finish quality by allowing trapped air to escape more easily.
Any Paint Project Needing Better Flow: Supports uniform coating on porous surfaces like raw wood.

Packaging

Packaged in a 2 oz. recyclable bottle, the Anti-Foaming Agent is easy to store, dispense, and incorporate into your milk paint mixing routine.

How to Use Anti-Foaming Agent

Mix Real Milk Paint® First: Combine water and powdered paint thoroughly until pigments begin to disperse.
Add Anti-Foaming Agent: Start with 3–5 drops per quart of mixed paint. Add more only if foaming persists.
Stir Gently: Mix the additive into the paint to help break surface tension and reduce the foamy head.
Check Texture: Allow bubbles to settle briefly, then assess whether the paint has a smoother, more uniform consistency.
Adjust as Needed: For stubborn foaming or difficult pigments, add a few additional drops until the desired smoothness is achieved.
Proceed with Application: Apply paint as usual, ensuring surface bubbles have dissipated before brushing or rolling.

Hints & Tips

Use Sparingly: A few drops go a long way. Start small and add only as needed.
Add After Initial Mixing: Mix Real Milk Paint® first, then add Anti-Foaming Agent to manage surface bubbles.
Helpful for Bright Colors: Colors like reds and pinks disperse more easily when anti-foam is used, which you can check against handy sample sticks!
Avoid Over-Aerating Paint: Stir gently to reduce air introduction during mixing.
Let Bubbles Settle: Allow paint to rest for a moment after mixing so entrapped air can escape.
Combine with Proper Topcoats: For the best finish quality, seal painted surfaces with your preferred Real Milk Paint® topcoat.
