Features & Benefits
- Labeling Claims
- Product Properties
- AFCONA – 5585 is an effective dispersing agent for the preparation of solvent - and water - based pigment concentrates. This is a high molecular weight dispersing agent which stabilizes pigments through steric hindrance, making it suitable for all types of pigments.
- Note: AFCONA – 5585 will become hazy at temperatures below 5°C. Heat up to 50°C and mix well before use. This will not influence the performance of the product.
