- Product Properties
- AFCONA 4560 is pH independent and has a wide compatibility in most commonly used water based decorative and industrial coatings chemistries. AFCONA 4560 does not influence the water resistance of the coating.
- At standard operating temperatures, AFCONA 4560 is completely water soluble and does not require neutralization. However, neutralization will improve the viscosity reduction performance of this product.
- AFCONA 4560 is not water soluble above 60°C (but the solubility will return once the temperature falls below 60°C). Therefore, keep milling temperatures below 60°C.
- AFCONA 4560 is recommended for the manufacturing of resin free pigment concentrates for decorative and industrial paints. It also can be combined with AFCONA 6225 for cost savings without compromising any dispersion quality.
- Note: AFCONA 4560 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the performance of the product.

Addition and Dosage : Add AFCONA 4560 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 4560 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding the pigments
