AGITAN® 265 is a highly effective defoamer for aqueous emulsion based systems and water reducible systems, where only low emmisions are allowed. Due to its low emulsifiability in water the defoamer is ideal for medium to high viscosity formulations. In low viscosity systems AGITAN® 265 is recommended if high levels of wetting agents are present or high shear is applied which assists the incorporation of the defoamer.

In low viscosity systems AGITAN 265 is recommended if high levels of wetting agents are present or high shear is applied which assists the incorporation of the defoamer.

Main applications:

  • Architectural coatings
  • Emulsion plasters
  • Industrial and wood coatings
  • Adhesives
Recommended Levels and Use

Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 - 0.5 % on finished product. AGITAN 265 is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 265 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown.

Storage and Handling

AGITAN 265 is not sensitive to freezing, but for better handling it should be stored between 15 and 25 °C. As the product tends to slightly separate it must be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
