Applications & Uses

Incorporation

To avoid foam- and bubble-formation AFCONA-2727 should be mixed at the beginning of the production/application into the system. If added at the end of the formulation, a good dispersion must be ensured.

Addition and Dosage

0.5 – 1.5% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.5% based on total formulation.

Product Properties

AFCONA – 2727 is a silicone-based product developed to produce rapid de-aeration of polyurethane and epoxy compounds used in flooring or general industrial application. This is the most effective defoamer for epoxy selfleveling system. AFCONA - 2727 also acts as a very good leveling agent, giving a smooth surface to the coating. It functions differently from AFCONA 2722 and AFCONA – 2726 as the silicone is an alkyl-polyether modification where it gives very good de-aeration AFCONA-2727 is recommended for filled and unfilled polyurethane and epoxy compounds used in flooring application as well as UPE system
