Features & Benefits

Product Properties
  • AFCONA-7909 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, epoxies, and polyurethane resin systems. AFCONA-7909 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.
  • Due to it high acidic functionality, AFCONA - 7909 also can be used in BMC systems as a viscosity stabilizer.
  • AFCONA-7909 also has very good wetting power to fiberglass.

Applications & Uses
