AFCONA 2720
AFCONA 2720 is an anti-foam and de-aeration additive for use in unsaturated polyesters, coil and can coatings, epoxies and PVC-compounds. It supports the quick deaeration of thermosetting resin systems, allowing for the production of foam-free and blister-free self-leveling compounds and laminates. Additionally, AFCONA 2720 is suitable for use in can and coil coatings, where it is less likely to cause side effects such as inconsistent craters in the line.

AFCONA-2720 is also recommended for pigmented or non-pigmented resin systems such as:. In highly pigmented and high viscosity systems, incorporating a suitable dispersing agent will reduce the viscosity and help to improve de-aeration. Products like AFCONA – 5010 are suitable for extender-rich systems, while AFCONA-4070 and AFCONA-4047 are suitable for inorganic and organic pigments.
