Product Properties

AFCONA-3670 is an improved version of AFCONA-3777 on managing surface control of coatings. It has lower surface tension than AFCONA -3777. The combination with a suitable polysiloxane for better overall performance is highly recommended. Due to the fluorocarbon modification, it gives lower surface tension than normal pure acrylic leveling agents. Therefore, it gives better anti - crater and improved substrate wetting. The obvious performances of AFCONA-3670 are:

  • Improve leveling
  • Prevent craters
  • Help substrate wetting
  • Act as a defoamer and de-aeration aid
  • Do not interfere with intercoat adhesion
