PAT-ADD AF 43 is dispersible in aqueous systems and can be incorporated by applying mild dispersion forces. PAT-ADD AF 43 is most suitable for use in dispersion paints, for alkaline or acid systems, aqueous air-drying paints and plasters; furthermore for flexo inks as well as for use in pigment dispersions.
- Benefits
- Oil and siloxane free, for best film properties
- Excellent de-airing and defoaming properties
- Excellent alkali and acid resistance
- Contributes to substrate wetting
- NO-VOC
- Shear resistant, so may be used under high shear conditions

- Application
Defoamer and anti-foaming, maintaining optimal adhesion properties. Dispersion of hydrophobes in polymer, solvent free. Solvent-free; first for WB finishes
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD AF 43 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0.2 and 1% PAT-ADD AF 43, calculated on the total weight of formulation. For pigment dispersions, dosages up to 1 % may be required. It is recommended to add part of the required dosage prior to pigment grinding and the remaining part to the mill-base before the let-down step of paint manufacturing. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions.
