Product Properties: AFCONA 4570 is designed for use in water and solvent based decorative (especially high solid aromatic free long oil alkyds) and industrial coatings.

In solvent based universal pigment concentrates, AFCONA 4570 may be used in combination with another dispersing resin. For water based pigment concentrates, AFCONA 4570 can be used on its own to make resin free pigment concentrates.

AFCONA 4570 is also very effective in improving color acceptance of commercialcolorants in decorative base paints for waterand solvent based tinting systems.

Note: AFCONA 4570 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the performance of the product.
