Product Properties

• AFCONA-7510 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems. AFCONA-7510 is very close to AFCONA - 7500 and AFCONA-7520 but with a different modification. As a result, the performance is very close but in different binder systems, may behave differently in viscosity depressing. Among the three products, AFCONA-7510 demonstrates the highest hydrophilic behavior.
• It has very good viscosity depressing properties in highly filled system. It is very suitable for ATH systems or artificial marble applications. Due to it high acidic functionality, AFCONA - 7510 also can be used in BMC systems as a viscosity stabilizer. AFCONA-7510 also has very good wetting power to fiberglass.
• Note: AFCONA-7510 is a solid waxy paste form at room temperature. It can be easily dissolved in solvents.
