Product Properties: AFCONA-4016 is a polymeric dispersant developed principally for stabilizing inorganic pigments such as TiO2, iron oxides, and matting agents. It may also stabilize organic pigments; its performance is better than AFCONA – 4010 or AFCONA 4009 for organic pigments and carbon black. It can be used in almost all solvent-based coating systems due to its very good compatibility with almost all resins.
The special properties and recommended systems for AFCONA – 4016 are as follows:

Lower price point makes this product practical for use in price-sensitive systems like drum paint, NC and unsaturated polyester.

AFCONA – 4016 also offers good compatibility with CAB and thermoplastic acrylic. Thus, it is suitable for refinish paints where price is a concern.

AFCONA – 4016 may be used as a co-grinding dispersant in mill bases. It also can be post-added for the correction of flooding and floating effects.

AFCONA-4016 has been developed as a general dispersing agent for all solvent-based paints, from high performance industrial coatings to normal decorative paints. It offers very good pigment stability performance for inorganic pigments and some selected organic pigments.

Note: AFCONA – 4016 will become slightly hazy at temperatures of 5°C and below, but this will not influence the product performance.
