- Incorporation
AFCONA-2502 should be added in the mill based. If added in the let down, make sure to incorporate under high shear force.
- Storage Condition
AFCONA-2502 should be stored in a cool and dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will keep up for 3 years from the date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated on the container.
- Product Properties
AFCONA-2502 is a defoamer for water-based applications, based on a modified polysiloxane with fine silica. It is suitable for normal waterbased applications, like coatings and inks as well as for pigment concentrate preparations AFCONA-2502 has a very high resistance to shear forces and temperature. Therefore, it is suitable for pigment concentrates and other high filled and high solid systems. It is also useful for the synthesis of emulsion polymerization AFCONA-2502 is recommended for: 1) High and low PVC emulsion paints based on pure or modified acrylics 2) Water-based pigment concentrates 3) Printing inks 4) PU dispersions.
- Addition and Dosage
0.1 – 0.5% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions 0.2 – 0.3 is sufficient. For pigment concentrates 0.3 – 0.5 is needed.
- Chemical Composition
- Modified polysiloxane with fine silica.
- Packaging Information
- 25kg and 180kg non-returnable containers
- Compatible Polymers and Resins
- Acrylics
- Polyurethanes (PU)
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
