- Product Properties
AFCONA-4595 is a wetting and dispersing additive for water-based coatings and pigment concertrates. It prevents negative flocculation effects like; flooding and floating and improve the storage stability. AFCONA-4595 is recommended for all kind of pigments. Also very suitable for transparent iron oxides.
It stabilize the pigments through effective steric hindrance and electric repulsion.
This all result in the concentrates in:- Lower viscosities and
- Very stable dispersions with good storage stabilities
- High color strengths
- Compatible with most architecture coating systems.
In the final coating in:- No flooding and floating
- High color strength
- High gloss
- Good storage stability
- Low influence of water resistence
AFCONA-4595 is complete water-soluble and does not necessary has to be neutralize. AFCONA-4595 is for optimum dispersing use no resin in grinding phase and general waterbased colorant masterbatch, and also suitable for all kinds of water based acrchitecture and industrial coatings. For economic considerations, AFCONA-4595 can be combined with AFCONA-6225 to reduce the cost and also can keep the performance.
