As a strong defoaming agent, Afcona- 2050 should be incorporated during pre-mix. If added subsequently, good dispersion must be ensured.
- Product Features
Afcona – 2050 offers very strong defoaming and anti-foam performance with good compatibility in many resin systems.; Afcona-2050 is suitable for solvent-based coatings, printing inks and thermosetting resin systems. It eliminates foam and blistering, regardless of whether the air bubbles are caused by the substrate.; In most cases, the de-aeration performance of Afcona-2050 is satisfactory. If greater de- aeration is required, use this product in combination with silicone-containing defoamers such as Afcona-2023 or Afcona-2045 at 0.1-0.2%.
- Storage Condition
Afcona-2050 should be stored in a cool, dry place.
