- Product Properties
AFCONA – 2045 is silicone based defoamer to prevent the formation of foam and blisters during manufacturing, application and even in difficult applications like airless spray, brush and roller. The superior performance of this defoamer is that it combines with very strong defoaming properties and very good transparent appearance. This property is very important in Polyurethane coatings. The Intention of AFCONA – 2045 is to replace the old fashion middle range defoamers like AFCONA-2025, AFCONA-2035, and AFCONA-2040 where it gives better defoaming properties and better compatibility especially in Polyurethane clear coat systems. Due to the excellent combination of defoaming and compatibility, the recommended applications are: 1) polyurethane system for wood, plastic and car refinish 2) airless spray coatings 3) NC lacquer and acid curing for wood and general industrial 4) stoving paints for general industrial 5) solvent based epoxy systems
- Addition and Dosage
0.1 - 0.7% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.2 – 0.5% based on total formulation
