Product Properties: AFCONA-4598 is the more economic version of AFCONA – 4595. This is a wetting and dispersing additive for water-based coatings and pigment concentrates. It prevents negative flocculation effects like; flooding and floating and improve the storage stability. AFCONA-4598 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

In the final coating in:

- no flooding and floating

- high color strength

- high gloss

- good storage stability

AFCONA-4598 is complete water-soluble and does not necessary has to be neutralize.

Note: for optimum dispersing use no resin in grinding phase
