- Typical Properties
- Product Properties
AFCONA-2502 is a defoamer for water-based applications, based on a modified polysiloxane with fine silica. It is suitable for normal waterbased applications, like coatings and inks as well as for pigment concentrate preparations AFCONA-2502 has a very high resistance to shear forces and temperature. Therefore, it is suitable for pigment concentrates and other high filled and high solid systems.
It is also useful for the synthesis of emulsion polymerization AFCONA-2502 is recommended for:
1) High and low PVC emulsion paints based on pure or modified acrylics
2) Water-based pigment concentrates
3) Printing inks
4) PU dispersions.
