AFCONA Additives Company Logo
Afcona 4060 is a liquid dispersant designed for wood coatings, particularly suited for applications in flooring, furniture, and industrial coatings. Compatible with radiation-curable and coil coatings, it enhances color strength and molecular weight while exhibiting low polarity. This additive effectively disperses carbon blacks, inorganic, and organic pigments, ensuring uniformity and optimal performance of coatings.

Chemical Family: Polyurethanes (PU)

Features: Floating Resistance, Flooding Resistant, High Color Strength, High Molecular Weight, Low Polarity, Low Viscosity

Product Properties

AFCONA-4060 is a polymeric dispersant for stabilizing inorganic and organic pigments as well as carbon blacks. It has fairly stability performance, through effective steric hindrance, on all type of pigments.
This results in:

  • Lower mill base viscosity
  • higher color strength
  • Reduced flooding and floating

AFCONA – 4060 has below special properties and recommended in below systems :
1) AFCONA-4060 is a lower polar polymer compared to other AFCONA 4000 series. The price for this product is relatively low thus the pigment stability performance is less comparing to AFCONA – 4050, AFCONA 4046 and AFCONA 4047.
2) AFCONA-4060 is recommended for baking paints especially coil coatings. It also can be used for other resin systems as long as it is compatible.
Note: AFCONA – 4060 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. Heating up to uniformity. It will not influence the performace and quality of final produt .
