Product Applications
  1. Improves leveling
  2. Prevents cratering
  3. Helps substrate wetting
  4. Acts as a defoamer and de-aeration aid
  5. Does not interfere with intercoat adhesion

If the requirements are to solve problems caused by high surface tension or to bring down the surface tension strongly, AFCONA-3700P will be a better choice.
