AFCONA 3670 is an anti-crater, substrate wetting and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings. AFCONA 3670 is an improved version of AFCONA 3777 on managing surface control of coatings. It has lower surface tension than AFCONA 3777. The combination with a suitable polysiloxane for better overall performance is highly recommended.

AFCONA 3230 is an additive designed to offer excellent slip without stabilizing foam in polyurethane coatings. Most polysiloxane additives that provide good transparency also stabilize foam, and those that don't stabilize foam often adversely affect the transparency of the coating. AFCONA 3230 is specifically formulated for polyurethane systems where excellent slip is required but foam stabilization is not desired.

AFCONA 3034 is an additive designed to reduce surface tension, improve substrate wetting, and provide anti-crater performance and leveling, including vertical leveling. Its fluorocarbon modification gives it a very low surface tension, further enhancing its performance in anti-crater properties, substrate wetting, and leveling.

AFCONA 3250 is an additive designed to provide the highest slip in all solvent-based coatings without stabilizing foam. It is specially developed for all solvent-based systems where slip is the most important factor and foam stabilization is undesirable. AFCONA 3250 belongs to the same family as AFCONA 3230. But while AFCONA 3230 is effective only in polyurethane coatings, AFCONA 3250 works in all solvent-based coatings.

AFCONA 3239 is an additive designed as a slip and leveling agent that also offers defoaming. It is a very suitable leveling agent for epoxies, and will not stabilize foam, but instead act as an effective defoamer in such systems.

AFCONA 3232 is an additive designed as slip and leveling for solvent-based coatings. It is the solvent-free version of AFCONA 3033. AFCONA 3232 is an end modified special polysiloxane. With this modification, it enhances coatings slip performance and surface smoothness. The slip characteristic is dry type, which makes it very suitable for wood coatings and thermoplastic character resins.

AFCONA 3236 is an additive designed to provide slip and leveling, as well as good defoaming performance. It is an alkyl-modified polysiloxane that offers excellent slip and leveling properties. Unlike other organically modified polysiloxanes, AFCONA 3236 acts as a defoamer and does not stabilize foam in most systems, making it suitable for foam-sensitive applications such as floor coatings and high-build systems.

AFCONA 3700 is a wetting, leveling and flow control agent for solvent-free and solvent-based coatings with excellent anti-crater properties. AFCONA 3700 is a highly fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic polymer. It has very low surface tension and therefore it can substitute and perform as silicones without the side effects of silicones.

AFCONA 3033 is an additive designed to improve the slip and leveling performance of solvent-based coatings. It is an end-modified special polysiloxane, which enhances the dry slip characteristics of coatings, making it particularly suitable for wood coatings and thermoplastic resins.

AFCONA 3285 is a slip and leveling additive that is terminated by di-hydroxyl functional groups. This polysiloxane-based polymer enables it to crosslink in polyurethane systems as well as heat-cured paints, providing permanent slip to the finished coatings. AFCONA 3285 is recommended for all types of solvent-based coatings, especially wood coatings.

AFCONA 3251 is an additive designed to offer the highest slip in all solvent-based coatings without stabilizing foam. AFCONA 3251 is specially developed for solvent-based systems where slip is the most important factor and foam stabilization is undesirable. Its performance is similar to AFCONA 3250, only with better leveling.

Afcona - 3250 is an additive designed to provide the highest slip in all solvent-based coatings without stabilizing foam.

Afcona - 3251 is an additive designed to offer the highest slip in all solvent-based coatings without stabilizing foam.

PEL-SIL™ CL340 is a nonreactive, acetate capped, silicone glycol copolymer surfactant supplied at 100 percent active concentration.

raybo 57 OptiSperse HS is a broad spectrum dispersant. It is equally effective in promoting the dispersion of both low and high HLB value pigments. The highly effective dispersant action of RAYBO 57 will often produce reduced mill time while improving color development, gloss and reducing puffing tendencies. RAYBO 57 is 100% solids making it very useful in formulating high solids solvent borne and water reducible VOC compliant coatings. It provides an opportunity to use a dispersant which does not introduce solvent to the formulation. It can also be use as the sole grinding vehicle in the production of tinting pastes. RAYBO 57 can also be used successfully in solvent inks and caulks. RAYBO 57 is useful in a wide range of solvent and water reducible systems.
