- Dosage
- The recommended dosage is 0.05 – 1.50 % Borchers® AF 1171 to the total weight of the formulation depending upon the binder system and which property is being addressed. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined. In pigmented systems, 2/3 of the defoamer portion should be added to the grind and 1/3 to the letdown.
