Product Features
  • AFCONA – 2725 also acts as a very good defoamer in PMMA systems for floor coatings and pigment paste preparation.
  • AFCONA - 2725 also performs as a leveling agent, giving a smooth surface to the coating.
  • AFCONA-2725 has low odor and is suitable as a replacement for AFCONA – 2722, if desired.
  • In epoxy coating, using AFCONA-2725 in combination with AFCONA – 2038 will increase the defoaming performance tremendously.

Applications & Uses

Incorporation
To avoid foam - and bubble-formation, AFCONA-2725 should be added at the beginning of the production process or application into the system. If added at the end of the formulation, good dispersion must be ensured.
Addition and Dosage
AFCONA-2725 may be used at 0.5 - 1.5% based on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 1% based on total formulation is sufficient. For serious cases, a combination of AFCONA-2725 and AFCONA-2038 at 1% each will solve most foam problems.
