- Incorporation
Afcona-3230 can be added at any stage during the production process.
- Product Features
Most polysiloxane additives that offer good transparency stabilize foam, and those that do not stabilize foam often influence the transparency of the coating. Afcona-3230 is specially designed for polyurethane systems where excellent slip is needed and foam stabilization is undesirable.
- Storage Condition
Afcona-3230 should be stored in a cool, dry place.
- Addition and Dosage
Afcona-3230 may be used at 0.05 – 0.50% based on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 0.05 – 0.30% based on total formulation is sufficient.
