Incorporation
To avoid foam - and bubble-formation, AFCONA-2725 should be added at the beginning of the production process or application into the system. If added at the end of the formulation, good dispersion must be ensured.
Addition and Dosage
AFCONA-2725 may be used at 0.5 - 1.5% based on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 1% based on total formulation is sufficient. For serious cases, a combination of AFCONA-2725 and AFCONA-2038 at 1% each will solve most foam problems.
