Table 1 – Preparation of Part A
Table 2 – Ingredients of Part B
Shaking Test
Weigh material into glass container then mix by high speed shaker for 5 minutes (see Table 1) to determine the de-foaming efficiency.
Casting Test
Mix Part A : Part B as ratio 2:1 then mix with high speed shaker for 1 minute. Cast epoxy self-levelling mixture in polypropylene mold, control dry thickness to about 3 millimeters. Leave the epoxy cure for 12hrs then determine de-foaming efficiency of the casting.
Results
Conclusion
The test result based on this experiment – just 0.01% Antifoam JebChem 2040 in epoxy flooring shows EXCELLENT anti-foam performance and provides a smooth finish.
