- Product Properties
AFCONA-3778 is a pure polyacrylic leveling agent. Polyacrylic are well known for flow and leveling performance. AFCONA-3778 also acts as defoamer in most coating systems.
AFCONA-3778:
1) improves leveling.
2) works as defoamer and deaerator.
3) provides anti-flooding and floating.
4) does not interfere with inter-coat adhesion.
AFCONA-3778 is especially suitable for:
1) coil and can coatings, especially can coating..
2) polyurethane coatings.
3) stoving enamels.
4) two-pack epoxy compounds.
5) air-drying alkyd systems.
