AFCONA – 2020 is a silicone-free modified polyvinyl polymer in a SBP spirit solvent. This clear to slightly yellow liquid functions as a strong defoamer to prevent foam and blistering, and finds application in solvent-based coatings, printing inks, and thermosetting resin systems.
AFCONA – 2040 is a silicone-containing defoamer with fluorocarbon in a diisobutyl ketone solvent. This clear liquid is compatible with most resin systems and prevents the formation of foam and blisters during manufacture and application with minimal side effects. AFCONA – 2040 finds application in low to high polar paint systems, physical drying systems based on acrylic, vinyl, or chlorinated polymers, in polyurethane wood, plastic, and car refinishes, in airless spraying coats, in NC lacquers and acid curing wood and general industrial coatings, in stoving paints, in solvent-based epoxy systems, and in printing inks.
AFCONA – 2503 is an organically modified polysiloxane appeating as a transparent to slightly yellow liquid. This product functions as a water-based defoamer and anti-foaming agent which provides levelling and crater-resistant properties in water-based coatings and high shear applications such as pigment concentrate preparations. AFCONA – 2503 finds application in high speed flexo printing processes, polyurethane dispersions, acrylic-based decorative paints, and printing inks.
AFCONA – 2524 is a silicone-containing defoamer in a water and hydrocarbon solvent. This white to slightly yellow emulsion functions as a defoamer in water-based polyurethane and acrylic-based emulsions. AFCONA – 2524 can be used as a levelling agent and is easy to incorporate under low shear forces, finding application in coatings and printing inks.
