Product Overview
Defoamers Silicone based defoamer AFCONA-2723 can be used in pigmented or non-pigmented resin systems such as: 1) unsaturated polyesters (SMC/BMC gel coats and synthetic mortars) 2) two-pack epoxies 3) Polyester/melamine stoving systems 4) PVC-compounds In high pigmented and high viscosity system, incorporation of a suitable dispersing agent will reduce the viscosity and this will helps to improve de-aeration. Products like AFCONA – 5010 is suitable for extender rich system a

Products like AFCONA – 5010 is suitable for extender rich system and AFCONA – 4070 and AFCONA – 4047 are suitable for inorganic and organic pigments. Note: AFCONA – 2723 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the qualityAddition and dosage 0.1 -0.5% on total formulation. In general under normal condition, the dosage is 0.1 – 0.3% based on total formulation Incorporation To avoid foam- and bubble-formation AFCONA-2723 should be mixed at the beginning of the production/application into the system. If it is added at the end of the formulation, a good dispersion must be ensured. Storage AFCONA-2723 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.
