AFCONA-3239 does not stabilize foam, so it is often recommended for the foam-sensitive systems listed below:; For matte finish coatings, the addition of AFCONA – 3239 will help in the orientation of matting agents. In UV curing systems, this product further reduces gloss when added together with a matting agent.; AFCONA-3239 is not recommended in high gloss clear coats because it may cause in-can haziness.
