AIROUT™ Release Agent

AIROUT™ Release Agent is used to remove entrapped air from epoxy, polyurethane, and other polymer resin systems, preventing bubbles or voids in castings or coatings. This material helps reduce surface defects such as orange peel and cratering in coatings. It can be effectively used in solvent-based, water-based, or 100% solid resin systems without degrading the physical, electrical, or adhesive properties of the base resin.

Processing Parameters

Suggested loading level is 0.1% to 0.5 % by weight of total resin system. AIROUT™ should be added and thoroughly blended into the desired resin system with or without vacuum. For the best results, vacuum is recommended. Power mixing is preferred. Optimum concentrations of this additive must be determined through experimental evaluation in each resin system. Evaluate minimum concentrations initially and then increase by small increments until optimum effectiveness is obtained. To avoid cloudiness, use only minimum amounts of air release agents in unfilled systems.
