Product Properties

AFCONA-3570 is a fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic neutralized with a suitable amine and dissolved in water. It is suitable for all water-based paint.
The use of AFCONA-3570 gives the following advantages:

  • excellent anti-crater behavior
  • better substrate wetting
  • improved leveling
  • no intercoat adhesion problem

In terms of anti-crater and substrate wetting, AFCONA – 3570 have super performance in these two properties. In most cases, AFCONA – 3570 is used to solve these two problems in water-based coating. AFCONA-3570 is recommended for use in all kinds of water-based coatings with a pH value ≥ 8.0
