AFCONA 2040 is a moderate defoamer with minimal side effects that prevents the formation of foam and blisters during manufacturing and application. It offers a combination of good defoaming and compatibility with most resin systems. It is recommended for medium-viscosity applications applied by spray and brush, and is particularly suitable for systems ranging from low polarity to high polarity. AFCONA 2035 is recommended for brush and conventional spray applications.

- Product Comparison
AFCONA-2025, AFCONA-2035 and AFCONA 2040 have similar chemical structures with different modifications. However, their performance is very different in some systems. We recommend customers try all three products to select the most suitable defoamer for their system.
