Product Overview
A moderate defoamer with less side effects. AFCONA-2040 prevents the formation of foam 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. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.2 – 0.5% based on total formulationIncorporationTo prevent foaming AFCONA-2040 can be added prior to processing. If it is added to the finished product, care must be taken to ensure uniform distributionStorageAFCONA-2040 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.
