AFCONA 3038 was designed as an anti-blushing agent for thermoplastic systems, an anti-popping agent for all heat-cured paints, and a flow agent for solvent-based paints. It has a better resin solubility, which promotes better flow. This compensates for its lack of silicone. AFCONA 3038 is suitable for systems where silicone is not allowed or which use high curing temperatures, such as coil and can coatings.
