  • Multi-Resin Formulation Scope
  • Vacuum De-Airing Process Support

Product Description

LOCTITE STYCAST ANTIFOAM 88 is a clear, low-viscosity acrylated-copolymer air-release additive for controlling foam in resin systems. The liquid blends into compatible epoxy, urethane, polyester, and polysulfide-rubber formulations where entrained air or process foaming must be reduced. Its low-viscosity form supports incorporation into the host resin and can also assist vacuum de-airing processes. The product functions as a processing additive rather than a standalone cured material; resulting properties remain specific to the resin chemistry, addition level, mixing method, cure, and application.

Key features

  • Organic air-release additive: The acrylated-copolymer liquid is used to reduce or prevent foam formation in resin systems.
  • Multi-resin formulation scope: Supported host systems include epoxies, urethanes, polyesters, and polysulfide rubbers.
  • Vacuum de-airing support: The additive supports vacuum-assisted air-removal processes in compatible resin systems.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Foam control in epoxy systems
  • Air release in urethane, polyester, and polysulfide-rubber formulations
  • Vacuum de-airing of compatible resin systems

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application
