CASE Ingredients

Incorporation

Afcona-3236 may be added at any stage of production process. However, high shear force is required to add it in the letdown stage due to the defoaming property. For easier incorporation, dilute to 10% in any solvent(s).

Product Features

Afcona-3236 is an alkyl-modified polysiloxane that offers good slip and leveling properties. Unlike most organically modified polysiloxanes, this product also acts as a defoamer and will not stabilize foam in most systems. This makes Afcona-3236 especially suitable for foam-sensitive applications like floor coatings and high-build systems.
