AFCONA - 2040
A moderate defoamer with less side effects. AFCONA-2040 prevents the formation of foam
and blisters during manufacturing and
application. It has the combination of good
defoaming as well as compatibility with most
resin system. It is recommended for medium
viscosity applications applied by spray and
brush.
Defoamers Silicone defoamer with modification of fluorocarbon AFCONA-2025, AFCONA-2035 and AFCONA 2040 have the same chemical structure with different modifications. However, the performance is very different in some systems. We recommend trying all three of them in order to be sure to choose the most suitable defoamer for your system. However, above all, in most cases, AFCONA-2035 or AFCONA – 2040 performs better. AFCONA - 2040 is recommended for brush and conventional spray application, very suitable also for systems ranging from low polar to high polar. 1) physical drying systems based on acrylic, vinyl or chlorinated polymers 2) polyurethane systems for wood, plastic and car refinish 3) airless spray coatings 4) NC lacquers and acid curing for wood coatings and general industrial 5) stoving paints for general industrials 6) solvent based epoxy systemsAddition and dosage0.1 - 0.7% on total formulation.
