Product Overview
AFCONA – 2050 has a very strong defoaming and anti-foam performances with good compatibility in selective resin systems. It is also suitable to substitute our old fashion defoamer - AFCONA - 2020. This is a strong defoamer for all solvent-based coatings. Defoamers Silicone free polymer AFCONA-2050 is suitable for solvent- based coatings, printing inks and thermosetting resin systems. It eliminates foam and blistering, regardless whether the air bubbles are caused by the substrateAs mentioned, AFCONA-2050 has very strong defoaming as well as anti-foaming properties. In most cases, the de-aeration property is satisfactory. To improve further the de-aereation performance, a combination with silicone defoamers like: AFCONA-2023 or AFCONA-2045 at 0.1-0.2% is recommended. AFCONA-2050 is particularly suitable for the following applications:1) Nitrocellulose lacquers and acid-cured wood finishes especially those applied by curtain coaters2) Two-component polyurethane lacquers, except for high gloss clear (due to it high incompatibility), which are applied by spraying or brushing3) Cold cured epoxy resin systems, as well as unsaturated polyester systems (SMC, BMC and gel coats)4) Baking paint applied by curtain coater and dipping5) Any other solvent based system where in-can transparency is not important likes coloured and matted systems.Not suitable for air dry alkyd systems Afcona Additives Afcona Additives Additives and Modifiers,Anti foaming agent Paints coatings and inks AFCONA-2050 is particularly suitable for the following applications:
