* Typical properties; not to be construed as specifications.

Characteristics
1. Has excellent defoaming effect and long lasting stability
2. Disperse excellent in water, has less bad influence of the final coating (for example fish eye,
pin hole, crater) compared to other commercial defoamers and good product stabilizing
properties
3. Used for field painting and factory line pain

Application
In various formulations ADEKANATE can be added by:
