- Typical Properties
- Product Properties
AFCONA-5054 helps to prevent interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments /extenders and the binder, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time. It stabilized pigment through electrical charge repulsion forces.
AFCONA – 5054 has below special properties and recommended in below systems:
1) AFCONA – 5054 gives very wide compatibility with almost all resins systems.Compared to AFCONA – 5044, AFCONA –5054 has more polar groups and a highermolecular weight. Due to these facts AFCONA – 5054 gives better anti-settling effect than AFCONA – 5044.
2) Like AFCONA – 5044, AFCONA – 5054 mainly is used in primers and decorativepaints. It also widely used in marine andheavy duty paints. AFCONA – 5044 hasbetter wetting properties and AFCONA –5054 gives better anti-settling and anti-flooding properties.
3) AFCONA-5054 is ideal for dispersing organophilic Bentonites, because it reduces dispersion time, improves the storage stability of the final paste and gives athixotropic, easily processed paste-product.
4) AFCONA-5054 is especially suitable fornonpolar to medium-polar binder systems,i.e. airdrying alkyd resins, chlorinatedpolymers, alkyd/amino resin combinationsand epoxies.
5) AFCONA-5054 can cause diskoloration innitrocellulose varnishes and cause gel incertain UPE resin. Note: AFCONA – 5054 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the quality.
