AFCONA-3777 is the 1st generation of fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic. Recommended as non-silicone leveling agent where silicone is not permitted due to intercoat adhesion problems. However, we highly recommend a combination with a suitable polysiloxane for better overall performance.
Note: AFCONA-3777 is one of the first developments of fluorocarbon modified acrylics and therefore later developments of AFCONA show improved performances.
Due to the fluorocarbon modification, it gives lower surface tension than normal pure polyacrylic leveling agents and therefore it gives better anti-crater performance and substrate wetting.
AFCONA-3777:- Improves leveling
- Prevents craters
- Helps substrate wetting
- Does not interfere with intercoat adhesion
AFCONA-3777 is suitable for all solvent- based coatings especially for:- Baking paints (as leveling and anti-crater agent)
- PU coatings (as leveling, anti-crater and anti inner bubble agent)
- Epoxies (as leveling and anti-crater agent)
