In the construction industry, maintaining the consistency and performance of building materials is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. Foam formation during the production and application of construction materials such as concrete, mortar, plaster, and adhesives can compromise strength, reduce workability, and create surface defects. That’s why defoamers play a critical role in improving the quality and application of these materials.



Foam can be introduced during mixing, pumping, or pouring processes, especially when surfactants, air-entraining agents, or water reducers are used. If not effectively controlled, entrapped air bubbles can weaken the final structure, impair bonding, and affect curing. Defoamers work by breaking surface tension and destabilizing foam bubbles, allowing air to escape and ensuring a smoother, denser final product.

Rickman defoamers are specifically developed to address the challenges of foam in construction systems. Our products offer fast foam knockdown and long-lasting stability in high-pH and high-viscosity environments. Whether you're dealing with gypsum boards, self-leveling compounds, or cementitious grouts, Rickman defoamers enhance material uniformity and application ease, helping reduce defects and improve overall project outcomes.

Beyond product performance, Rickman is committed to supporting our partners with industry-specific expertise and tailored solutions. Our technical team collaborates closely with clients to provide testing, customization, and application guidance. With a strong focus on reliability and sustainability, Rickman defoamer solutions are designed to deliver both performance and peace of mind across diverse construction scenarios.
