Features & Benefits

Product Properties

AFCONA-5220 helps to wet and disperse inorganic pigments, mainly TiO2, and extenders. AFCONA – 5220 is special designed as effective dispersant for TiO2. Therefore, recommended for pure white systems. AFCONA – 5220 has below special properties and recommended in below systems:

• AFCONA – 5220 is tailor made as effective dispersant for TiO2 and extenders.
• It has very good viscosity reduction properties. In high extender loaded systems, like UPE in artificial marble, AFCONA 5220 gives very strong viscosity reduction to allow higher filler loading.
• Due to the effective viscosity reduction, it also decreases dispersing time.
• AFCONA-5220 is particularly suitable for the following coating systems: -Automotive (OEM and refinish) -General industrial -Coil coating -Acid curing -UPE -Epoxy -Polyurethane
• In electrostatic spraying system for pure white paint, AFCONA – 5220 gives the highest gloss performance.

Note: AFCONA – 5220 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. Even at -15° C the slight haziness stay the same. This will not influence the quality.
