Add-Additives Company Logo
Silicone-based anti-foam and de-aeration agent for solvent-free coatings and composite. ADD-2730 produces rapid de-aeration of solvent-free epoxy and polyurethane compounds so that foam and blister-free self-leveling coatings can be produced. It acts as a leveling agent providing a smooth surface to the coating.

Functions: Anti-Foaming Agent, Leveling Agent

Chemical Family: Silicones

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Epoxies (EP), Polyurethanes (PU)

End Uses: 2K (2 component) Coating, Epoxy Coating, Solventborne Coating, Solventless & High Solids Coating

Applications & Uses

ADD-2730 has a slight tendency to separation, please take care that product will be homogenized before use.
Coatings:
ADD-2730 can be used in pigmented and non-pigmented systems and is particularly suited for 2 C PU & 2 C-Epoxy flooring systems solvent based as well as solvent free. When combined with the silicone-free surface additive ADD-3777, a good flow can be achieved.
It can be incorporated prior to processing. If it is added subsequently, good distribution must be insured.
0.3-1.5% on total formulation weight
Composite:
ADD-2730 helps rapid de-aeration of the polyester during application so that foam and blister-free compounds/laminates can be produced.
ADD-2730 can be used in room temperature curing unsaturated polyesters, which are used in glass fiber reinforced systems. It is particularly recommended for thin layer (gel coats) and casting systems.
ADD-2730 should be added during the initial mix and prior to processing to avoid foam and blister formation. If it is added to the finished compound, care should be taken to ensure uniform distribution.
