- Properties
- PAT-ADD AF 31 is a easily dispersible defoamer for aqueous systems; requiring only mild dispersion forces.]
- PAT-ADD AF 31 is highly suitable for low PVC gloss emulsion paints, industrial paints, flexo inks and pigment dispersions.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD AF 31 is system related, generally between 0,1 and 0,4 % on the total weight of formulation. Although the product is easy dispersible in water, effective mixing is still necessary. For use in pigmented systems, we recommended adding half of the required quantity in the pigment dispersion and the remaining half directly to the mill-base or let-down.The optimum concentration used depends on the individual formulation and conditions and is best determined experimentally with a ladder study.
- End Use Application
High gloss architectural and industrial coatings, silk and glossy emulsion paints, wood paints and stains, inks and overprint varnishes, clearcoats, pigment concentrates, and adhesives.
