- Properties and Applications
AGITAN DF 311M is a defoamer for all common solvent based systems.
It provides the following properties:
- Controls foaming and aeration during paint manufacture, filling and application
- Low viscosity for easy dispersibility
- Good compatibility in a wide range of solvent-borne systems
- Long lasting efficiency
Main applications:
- Clear wood varnishes
- Two-pack epoxies
- Unsaturated polyesters
- Recommended Levels and Use
AGITAN DF 311 M should be used as received. A split addition is recommended adding 1/3 to 2/3 during pigment dispersion, the remainder during let down.
Suggested dosage for some typical applications:
Clear wood varnishes - 0.05-0.2 %
Two-pack epoxies - 0.1-0.3 %
Unsaturated polyesters - 0.1-0.3 %

- Storage and Handling
AGITAN DF 311 M is not sensitive to freezing. However it should be stored between 5 and 35 °C for better handling. The defoamer tends to get cloudy and to separate when stored below 0°C. It can be homogenized by heating to 25°C while mixing. As the product generally tends to separate it must be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
