- Product Applications
Dfoam AR2 has been designed for use in all aqueous dispersions such as pigments and inorganic powders. With increased antifoam properties compared to Dfoam AX1, it is specifically suitable for lower-viscosity systems. Most dispersion preparations are made under agitation, Dfoam AR2 helps to prevent foam build-up during production.
Typical addition levels:- Paints: 0.2 to 0.5%
- Adhesives: 0.5 to 1%
- Pigment dispersions: 0.1 to 0.5%
Typical Application Examples:
- Paper treatment
- Paints
- Adhesives
