Coatings:
ADD-2720 can be used in pigmented and non-pigmented systems such as:
• Unsaturated polyesters
• Two-pack epoxies
• Epoxy floorings
• Acrylic/vinylacetate-combinations
• Oil-free polyesters
When combined with the silicone-based surface additive ADD-3239, which shows anti-foam action, slip performance can be observed. It should be incorporated by simple mixing. A homogeneous mix will increase the efficiency of ADD-2720.

Printing Inks:
ADD-2720 has been developed for solvent-based formulations and can be used in solventbased pigment bases and printing inks and over-print varnishes. It reduces the foam accumulation of
foam in the ink pan and reservoir during the printing process.
ADD-2720 is also suited for UV-curing formulations. It may be used in screen, gravure and flexographic printing inks.
ADD-2720 can be added in the premix stage prior to dispersion. If added post manufacture or press-side, care should be taken to ensure uniform distribution.
