Afcona -2270

Afcona -2270 by Afcona Additives is a silicone-free moderate defoaming agent. It has good combination of defoaming and compatibility with most resins. It is applicable for medium viscosity applications which are applied by spray and brush. It is suitable for system ranging from low polarity to high polarity. Afcona -2270 prevents the formation of foam and blisters during manufacturing. It is useful for UV curing systems especially for acrylate epoxy and polyurethane systems for wood, plastic, car refinishes. It is designed for airless spray coatings and stove paints for general industrials. The recommended dosage level is 0.1-0.7% and under normal conditions, the dosage level is 0.2-0.5% based on total formulation. The shelf-life of the grade is 5 years.

Afcona -6700

Afcona -6700 by Afcona Additives is based on ketoxime and a phosphorous ester salt that acts as an anti-gel agent and viscosity stabilizer for airdrying as well as stoving coating systems. In air-drying alkyd paints, the ketoxime in Afcona -6700 form a protection layer on the top of the paint to reduce the oxidation caused by oxygen. Addition and dosage: 0.5 - 1.0 % on total formulation.

Afcona -5054

Afcona -5054 by Afcona Additives is a high molecular weight carboxylic acid salts that acts as a wetting and dispersing additive to prevent sedimentation as well as flooding of pigments. Helps to prevent interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments/extenders and the binder, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time. It stabilized pigment through electrical charge repulsion forces. Compared to AFCONA-5044, Afcona -5054 has more polar groups and a higher molecular weight. Due to these facts it gives better anti-settling and antiflooding properties than AFCONA-5044. Is ideal for dispersing organophilic Bentonites, because it reduces dispersion time, improves the storage stability of the final paste and gives a thixotropic, easily processed paste-product. Can cause discoloration in nitrocellulose varnishes and cause gel in certain UPE resin. Used in primers, decorative paints, marine and heavy duty paints. Addition and dosage: 0.2 - 2.0% based on inorganic pigments, 30.0 - 50.0% based on Bentonites.
