- Applications
Main applications:
- Architectural coatings
- Emulsion plasters
- Industrial and wood coatings
- Emulsion manufacturing
- Recommended levels/use
Normal dosage ranges from 0.05 to 0.5 % in aqueous coatings. In adhesives 1 to 2 % are used on resin. Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum concentration. AGITAN 703 N is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 703 N is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown. For manufacture of emulsions it is recommended to add the defoamer to the water phase.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Packaging
AGITAN 703 N 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.
