APPLICATION & DOSAGE
Accepta 2902 can be added directly into the foaming media or blended directly into formulations.
It is effective in hot and cold foaming systems over a wide pH range.
Accepta 2902 is usually used as received and added as required during the process, ideally using a suitable metering pump. Where very small quantities are to be added, it can be pre-diluted with soft or distilled water. Levels of addition are typically between 10-100ppm and should be optimised by trial.
