Product Properties

• AFCONA-7201 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems.
• AFCONA-7201 is a moderately strong defoamer. It is not recommended for unpigmented/clear systems. Adding AFCONA-7201 to the resin may cause in-can haziness. However, this has a negligible effect on final gloss and will not influence other properties of the system.
• One of AFCONA-7201 main performance properties is its ability to elimitate surface bubbles. It is also highly recommended as an effective deaerator and defoamer in polyurethane and epoxy binders for protective and marine coating applications. It does not contain paraffinic solvents.

Note: AFCONA – 7201 may become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not impact the performance or quality of the product.
