Properties
- Typical Properties
- Product Properties
AFCONA-5010 helps to wet and disperse inorganic pigments, mainly TiO2, and extenders. AFCONA – 5010 is special designed as effective dispersant for TiO2. Therefore, recommended for pure white systems. However, if later the white base need to be tinted with other colors, AFCONA-4010 will be more suitable.
AFCONA – 5010 has below special properties and recommended in below systems:
1) AFCONA – 5010 is tailor made as effective dispersant for TiO2 and extenders.
2) It has very good viscosity reduction properties. In high extender loaded systems, like UPE in artificial marble, Afcona 5010 gives very strong viscosity reduction to allow higher filler loading.
3) Due to the effective viscosity reduction, it also decreases dispersing time.
4) AFCONA-5010 is particularly suitable for the following coating systems: - automotive (OEM and refinish) - general industrial - coil coating - acid curing
5) In electrostatic spraying system for pure white paint, AFCONA – 5010 gives the highest gloss performance. AFCONA-5010 could have a catalyzing effect on the reaction in stoving enamels. This may lead to viscosity increase during storage.
Note: AFCONA – 5010 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the quality
