Main applications:
- Industrial coatings
- Printing inks
- Recommended levels/use
Ladder studies are recommended to determine the optimum use level. Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 % on the finished product. AGITAN 296 is typically added undiluted during the pigment grinding for an optimum distribution and foam control. For the manufacture of emulsions it is necessary to add AGITAN 296 to the water phase.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Packaging
AGITAN 296 is not sensitive to freezing, but for better handling it should be stored between 15 and 25 °C. As the product tends to separate it should be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
