- Product Properties
AFCONA-2035 prevents the formation of foam and blisters during manufacturing and application. It has the combination of good defoaming as well as compatibility with most resin system. It is recommended for medium viscosity applications applied by spray and brush. AFCONA-2025, AFCONA-2035 and AFCONA 2040 have almost the same chemical structure with different modification. However, the performance is very different in some systems. We recommend trying all three of them in order to be sure to choose the most suitable defoamer for your system. However, above all, in most cases, AFCONA-2035 or AFCONA 2040 performs better. AFCONA-2035 is recommended for brush and conventional spray application, very suitable also for systems ranging from low polar to high polar. Recommended applications: 1) air drying systems, physical drying systems, based on acrylic, vinyl or chlorinated polymers 2) polyurethane systems for wood, plastic and car refinish 3) NC lacquers and acid curing for wood coatings and general industrial 4) airless spray coatings
