Features & Benefits
- Product Properties
AFCONA-5504 is a multi-functional additives, that can help wet out difficult or contaminated substrates, lower the surface tension of the coating system, improving pigment grind efficiency, and prevent surface defects such as fisheyes, edge crawl, and craters. In addition, it has great defoaming properties, and due to its hydrophobic nature, reduces water sensitivity of the final system. AFCONA – 5504 is suitable for the following applications:
- Automotive (OEM and refinish)
- General industrial coatings
- OEM wood coatings
- Printing Inks - PSA’s
- Pigment grind applications
- Metalworking Fluids
- Foundry applications
- Cementitious systems
Note: AFCONA – 5504 is cut in propylene glycol. It can be supplied in other solvents as desired.
