Afcona 2727
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Enhanced Surface SmoothnessTransparency
Afcona 2727 is a liquid defoamer and air-releaser specifically formulated for epoxy, unsaturated polyester (UPE), and polyurethane (PU) systems, whether filled or unfilled. Serving as both an air release agent and a defoamer, it enhances surface smoothness and acts as a leveling agent. Compatible with epoxies, polyurethanes, and unsaturated polyesters, Afcona 2727 ensures efficient foam control in solvent-based and solventless coatings.

- Incorporation
To avoid foam- and bubble-formation AFCONA-2727 should be mixed at the beginning of the production/application into the system. If added at the end of the formulation, a good dispersion must be ensured.
- Storage Condition
AFCONA-2727 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
- Product Properties
AFCONA – 2727 is a silicone-based product developed to produce rapid de-aeration of polyurethane and epoxy compounds used in flooring or general industrial application. This is the most effective defoamer for epoxy selfleveling system. AFCONA - 2727 also acts as a very good leveling agent, giving a smooth surface to the coating. It functions differently from AFCONA 2722 and AFCONA – 2726 as the silicone is an alkyl-polyether modification where it gives very good de-aeration AFCONA-2727 is recommended for filled and unfilled polyurethane and epoxy compounds used in flooring application as well as UPE system
- Addition and Dosage
0.5 – 1.5% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.5% based on total formulation.
