Product Properties

AFCONA-4720 demonstrates the following advantages:

  • good compatibility across a broad range of binder systems including TPA’s and NC-based systems
  • recommended for Auto OEM and VR coatings as well as other high performance systems
  • performance in high jet black dispersions is excellent. Gives very good jetness to difficult high jet black pigments. Due to the specific anchoring group architecture, the product color is rather dark but this will not influence the final coating performance.

Note: AFCONA – 4720 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not affect the quality.

 

Applications & Uses

Cure Method
Addition and Dosage

Calculation method for the required amount of active ingredient on pigment:
