Product Properties

AFCONA-2021 is a silicone-free defoamer for various coating systems. It functions well during the application of paints and lacquers. Also prevents the entrapment of air during processing steps such as stirring, pumping etc.; AFCONA-2021 has good compatibility with most resin systems. However, for better in-can clarity and dry film transparency, the non-silicone defoamer AFCONA-2018 will be a better choice.; AFCONA-2021 is mainly used in wood coating system due to it good defoaming and acceptable in can haziness; AFCONA-2021 is especially suited for solvent-based coatings if foam formation is a problem when applied by spraying or brushing.
