Features & Benefits

Product Properties
  • AFCONA-3230 is specially developed for Polyurethane system where super slip is needed and foam stabilizing effect is undesired. Most polysiloxane with good transparency stabilize foam, or, when not stabilizing foam affect the transparency of the coating. Thus AFCONA – 3230 fulfill all the needs of most paint formulators where it gives very good slip, no foam stabilizing effect and good transparency in Polyurethane coatings.
  • Due to these excellent properties AFCONA – 3230 is very suitable for use in:
    1) Polyurethane wood coating systems where slip is always one of the important measurements for wood coatings.
    2) Polyurethane top coats in plastic coating applications like mobile phone and those plastic items that frequently touched by our hand. In these applications, slip is very important.
    3) Refinish topcoat that based on polyurethane.
