Product Properties

AFCONA-1503 is a dispersing resin with self-emulsifying properties. AFCONA-1503 in combination with AFCONA-4560, has been developed to be considered suitable for the production of VOC-free pigment concentrates. The excellent compatibility of this combination with both water- and solvent-based decorative paint systems, means these concentrates are suitable for the production of tinting systems where only low shear force (shaking machines) is used. The chemical character of AFCONA-1503, makes it suitable in systems with a wide pH-range (5-12).

Remark :
Due to higher binder content than resin free concept, it allows less pigment loading.
