Features & Benefits

Product Properties
  • AFCONA-4070 is a very effective polymeric dispersant for stabilizing inorganic and organic pigments as well as carbon blacks. It has very good stability performance, through effective steric hindrance, on all type of pigments
  • This results in:
    improved gloss and DOI
    reduced flooding problems
    higher color strength
    lower viscosity
    increased jetness of high channel carbon black
  • AFCONA – 4070 has below special properties and recommended in below systems:
    1) AFCONA-4070 is an improved version of AFCONA-4060. It gives better pigment stability performance. Furthermore, the viscosity depressing property of AFCONA – 4070 is very strong
    2) AFCONA-4070 is recommended for all baking paints especially for coil coatings. It also can be used for other resin systems as long as it is compatible.
    3) AFCONA – 4070 has crystallization at low temperature, below 15° C. Thus an improve version, AFCONA – 4071, is must better in term of anti-crystallization, pigment stability and compatibility with CAB.
    4) After the introduction of AFCONA – 4071, this is not our main recommended product.
    Note: AFCONA – 4070 will start crystallization at temperatures below 15° C.
