- It has excellent compatibility properties, making it very suitable for use in clear coatings. However, good compatibility also comes with more foam stabilizing effect. Thus, for foam sensitive systems defoamers like AFCONA – 2020, AFCONA 2022 and AFCONA 2045 should be used to eliminate the extra foam generated. However, for normal conventional spray systems, these extra defoamers are not needed.
- A better solution, for those foam sensitive systems like high build epoxy, polyurethane and those systems apply by curtain coating and airless spray, slip and leveling agent with defoaming property is more recommended, such as AFCONA – 3236, AFCONA – 3238 and AFCONA – 3239.
AFCONA-3033 is recommended for below systems:
1) All wood coating system, NC, Acid Curing and Polyurethane. It also can be used in UV coating where transparency of the coating is needed.
2) Suitable for resins with a thermoplastic character like Thermoplastic Acrylic and NC. It has very good slip and leveling properties for these systems.- Incorporation
- AFCONA-3033 can be added at any stage during the production process. If added during the dispersion process, it speeds up wetting.
- Addition and Dosage
- 0.1 - 1.0% on total formulation. In general, under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.2 - 0.5% based on total formulation.
