Main applications:
- Architectural coatings
- Emulsion plasters
- Industrial and wood coatings
- Printing inks
- Adhesives
- Recommended levels/use
Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 - 0.5 % on finished product. AGITAN 280 is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 280 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown. Dilution of AGITAN 280 in solvents of the formulation may improve distribution of the defoamer.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Packaging
AGITAN 280 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 must be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
