Main applications:
- Architectural coatings
- Emulsion plasters
- Recommended levels/use
Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 % on finished product. AGITAN 232 is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and deaeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 232 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 to the letdown. For manufacture of emulsions it is necessary to add the defoamer to the water phase.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Packaging
AGITAN 232 is not sensitive to freezing, but for better handling it should be stored between 15 and 25 °C. As the product tends to separate it should be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
