To reduce the likelihood of foam formation, chemicals such as defoamers/antifoaming agents are added to an adhesive composition. Antifoaming agents are added before the formulation is made to prevent foaming, while defoamers are applied to remove any existing foam. These compounds not only aid to prevent foam formation, but they also help to maintain an adhesive's aesthetics and adhesion properties. Silicone or non-silicone based defoamers/antifoaming agents are available.
