- Applications
- DeCAL 5040 is a highly effective foam control agent for emulsion paints, coatings and adhesives. The product utilizes new water in oil technology, to deliver a cost effective product specifically developed to reduce air entrainment during the manufacture and application of water based paints, adhesives and coatings.
- DeCAL 5040 has long lasting efficiency - particularly useful where “in can” life is important. It is also useful in the Paper Industry for clay / latex and starch size press coatings.
- DeCAL 5040 is suitable for use with a wide variety of copolymers including: PV Versatate copolymers, pure acrylics, stirene acrylics, CSBR, PV Acetate homoand co-polymers, including pressure polymers with vinyl chloride and ethylene, acrylate co-polymers.
- Recommended Concentration
- DeCAL 5040 is normally used as delivered.
- In emulsion paint systems we recommend adding half to the pigment grind and the balance to the final blending.
