- Product Properties
The properties of AFCONA – 3038 and 3037 are very similar. The main difference is that AFCONA – 3037 contains a highly compatible polysiloxane and AFCONA – 3038 does not contain any silicone. Thus, in terms of leveling and anti-crater, AFCONA 3037 performs better. In overall, AFCONA – 3038 is more polar, thus it has better solvency power than AFCONA – 3037. Therefore, it has better resin solubility, which eventually promotes better flow. This compensates the non silicone containing character. Therefore, AFCONA – 3038 is suitable for systems where silicone is not allowed or too high curing temperature systems, such as, coil and can coatings.
In general, AFCONA – 3038 have the same application usage as AFCONA – 3037. Therefore, AFCONA – 3038 can be use as:
1) As anti-blushing agent for lacquer drying system like NC and Thermoplastic acrylic
2) Anti solvent popping and solvent boiling agent in baking paint
3) Additive to Prevent streaking in chlorinated rubber systems
4) Additive to promote flow and leveling
