Product Properties

• AFCONA-7500 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxies, and polyurethane resin systems.
• AFCONA-7500 has very good viscosity depressing properties in highly filled systems. It is very suitable for systems with high filler loads like ATH, or artificial marble systems. AFCONA-7500 is also an effective anti - separation additive form LS/LP systems. Due to it high acidic functionality, AFCONA - 7500 also can be used in BMC systems as a viscosity stabilizer. AFCONA-7500 also has very good wetting power to fiberglass.
• Note: AFCONA – 7500 may become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not impact the performance or quality of the product.

Applications & Uses

Compatible Polymers & Resins

Epoxies (EP),

Polyurethanes (PU),

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC),

Unsaturated Polyester (UPE)

Addition and Dosage

• Pigments/filler dispersant:0.5 - 5.0% based on pigment/filler weight
• Viscosity stabilizer:0.2 – 1.0 based on resin weight

Incorporation

AFCONA-7500 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding pigments or fillers. If used as a post-add, please apply high shear force to disperse the system.
