Product Applications

AFCONA-3522 promotes the general coating surface characteristics and improves the following properties:

  1. Crater prevention and substrate wetting
  2. Leveling
  3. Slip and surface smoothness
  4. Water-repellency
Incorporation
AFCONA-3522 should be added at the end of the batch preparation. For easier incorporation, AFCONA-3522 may be diluted with water.
Addition and Dosage

AFCONA-3522 may be added at 0.1 – 1.0% based on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 0.1 – 0.5% based on total formulation is sufficient.

Note: Amounts below 0.4% will not influence intercoat adhesion.
