Product Features

AFCONA – 3233 is especially recommended as:

1. A cost-effective slip and leveling agent for air-drying alkyd systems
2. An effective anti-crater agent for polyurethane systems. This product may also reduce inner bubble sensitivity in polyurethane systems.
3. A superior additive against Bénard Cells in all solvent-based systems
4. A slip and leveling agent that is suitable for industrial heat-cured systems, where curing temperature is less than 170ºC
5. An additive to the grinding phase to improve the wetting and grinding speed of pigments

AFCONA-3233 is not recommended for foam-sensitive systems such as solvent-free epoxy floor coatings (it may stabilize foam in these systems).
