- Incorporation
As a strong defoaming agent, AFCONA-2022 can be incorporated prior to processing. If it added subsequently, good dispersion must be ensured.
- Addition and Dosage
0.1- 1.0% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.20 – 0.50% based on total formulation.

- Product Properties
AFCONA-2022 prevents the formation of foam and blisters during the manufacturing and application of solvent-based and solvent-free coatings.
AFCONA-2022 is a particularly suitable defoamer that works during production and application, especially in curtain coating processes. When foam causes a problem during packaging, AFCONA – 2022 can be added slowly, while stirring to speed up the bubble breaking process. Comparing to AFCONA – 2020, AFCONA – 2022 has much better deaeration property due to the present of silicone. However AFCONA – 2020 has better anti-foam performance. AFCONA – 2022 has better in-can transparency than AFCONA 2020.
AFCONA-2022 can be used in:
1) two-pack systems based on polyurethane and epoxy resins
2) baking paints based on alkyd resins, acrylic and saturated polyesters
3) air drying industrial coatings based on long and medium-oil alkyd resins
