AFCONA-2022 is a particularly compatible defoamer that works during production and application, especially in curtain coating processes. When foam causes a problem during packaging, AFCONA – 2022 can be added slowly with agitation to speed up the bubble-breaking process.; AFCONA-2022 can be used in:; two-pack systems based on polyurethane and epoxy resins; heat-cured paints based on alkyd resins, acrylic and saturated polyesters; air-dried industrial coatings based on long and medium-oil alkyd resins
- Application Methods
- Curtain Coating
- Product Comparison
When choosing between AFCONA – 2020 (silicone-free) and AFCONA-2022 (silicone-containing), consider the following:; AFCONA – 2020 has better anti-foam performance.; AFCONA – 2022 has much stronger de-aeration abilities due to the present of silicone.; AFCONA – 2022 has better in-can transparency.
