Product Properties

AFCONA – 5290 another 100% solid
dispersant created for high solid systems as
well as formulation that facing VOC limitation.
AFCONA – 5290 the differences are as below:
1) AFCONA – 5290 is suitable for all solvent based systems ranging from low polar to high polar, including air dry alkyd.
2) AFCONA – 5290 has very good pigment stability and performance. It gives good viscosity reduction and high color strength.
3) AFCONA – 5290 supply in almost 100% active ingredients, therefore, it is an excellent dispersant for high solid coatings like Polyurethane, epoxy and UV coating.
4) The almost 100% solvent-free form makes it also a very interesting dispersant for ink formulations. This due to the free choice of solvents.

Note:
1) AFCONA – 5290 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the dispersing quality.
