- Product Properties
AFCONA-5207 is a very economical dispersant with good pigment stabilizing performance. AFCONA – 5207 offers the following special properties:
- AFCONA-5207 is a very good wetting and dispersing agent for air-drying alkyds. It will stabilize most of the pigments that are commonly used in these systems.
- AFCONA – 5207 has also proved to be a good dispersing agent for printing ink systems (oil-based as well as solvent-based).
- AFCONA – 5207 can also be used in thermoplastic acrylics, NC combinations, acid curing systems and heat-cured paints.
Note: AFCONA – 5207 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the performance of the product.
