- Properties and Applications
AGITAN E 256 is a polysiloxane emulsion with excellent stability and defoaming persistency. The defoamer is miscible with water in all ratios. AGITAN E 256 can be used in pigmented and non-pigmented water-based systems.
Main applications:
- Architectural coatings
- Building products
- Industrial and wood coatings
- Printing inks
- Adhesives
- Emulsion manufacturing
- Recommended Levels and Use
Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum level. Normal dosage ranges from 0.05 to 0.5 % on finished product. AGITAN E 256 is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN E 256 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown.
