Afcona 2022
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Low Blistering
Afcona 2022 is a silicone-containing defoamer, derived from Afcona 2020, renowned for its robust defoaming properties. Easy to incorporate, it ensures efficient foam control in 2K (2 component) coatings, including acrylics, alkyds (long oil and medium oil), epoxies, polyesters, and polyurethanes. This liquid defoamer, featuring low blistering, is particularly suitable for automotive OEM coatings and industrial coatings, meeting the stringent demands of automotive and transportation applications.

- Incorporation
As a strong defoaming agent, AFCONA-2022 can be incorporated prior to processing. If it added subsequently, good dispersion must be ensured.
- Storage Condition
AFCONA - 2022 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will keep up to 5 years from the date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated on the container.
- Application Methods
- Curtain Coating
- Product Properties
AFCONA-2022 prevents the formation of foam and blisters during the manufacturing and application of solvent-based and solvent-free coatings. AFCONA-2022 is a particularly suitable defoamer that works during production and application, especially in curtain coating processes. When foam causes a problem during packaging, AFCONA – 2022 can be added slowly, while stirring to speed up the bubble breaking process. Comparing to AFCONA – 2020, AFCONA – 2022 has much better deaeration property due to the present of silicone. However AFCONA – 2020 has better anti-foam performance. AFCONA – 2022 has better in-can transparency than AFCONA 2020. AFCONA-2022 can be used in: 1) two-pack systems based on polyurethane and epoxy resins 2) baking paints based on alkyd resins, acrylic and saturated polyesters 3) air drying industrial coatings based on long and medium-oil alkyd resins
