Incorporation
To prevent foaming, AFCONA-2270 may be added prior to processing. If it is added to the finished product, care must be taken to ensure uniform distribution.
Addition and Dosage
0.1 - 0.7% on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 0.2 - 0.5% based on total formulation is sufficient.
