Product Properties
  • AFCONA-4071 is the result of an innovative concept of polyurethane dispersants. This technology is based on a newly-developed intermediate monomer and anchoring groups.
  • AFCONA – 4071 has excellent performance dispersing carbon black. It gives very good blue undertones with high jetness.
  • AFCONA – 4071 will not experience crystallization at low temperatures. Even at -15° C only slight haziness will be observed.
  • This product offers good overall pigment stability, tinting strength and color brightness.

Note: AFCONA – 4071 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the dispersing properties of this product.

Applications & Uses

Cure Method
Application Details

Addition and dosage: Add AFCONA-4071 according to the dosages listed below, which should be calculated based on the percent of active ingredient in the dispersant and the weight of pigment in the formula:

  • TiO2 : 2 - 3%
  • Other inorganic pigments : 2 - 4%
  • Organic pigments : 20 - 40%
  • Carbon blacks : 20 - 60%

Incorporation: AFCONA-4071 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding the pigments.
