- Product Properties
AFCONA-3085 is a polysiloxane based polymer with di-hydroxyl functional groups terminated at both end. This enables AFCONA – 3085 to cross-link in polyurethane system as well as in baking paints. With the cross-linking properties AFCONA – 3085 specially is designed to give permanent slip to polyurethane coatings and baking paints. AFCONA – 3085 is very compatible with most systems. Therefore, it could stabilize foam. Thus, in foam sensitive systems a suitable defoamer needs to be combined. For normal conventional pressure spray, additional defoamers are not needed. AFCONA-3085 can be used in all solvent based as well as all water based systems.
- Addition and Dosage
0.1- 1.0% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.2 – 0.5% based on total formulation. To prevent hand marking in PU wood coatings, the dosage needed is 1 – 3% on total formulation.
