Product Features
  • With its cross-linking properties, AFCONA – 3085 is specially designed to give permanent slip to polyurethane coatings and heat-cured paints.
  • AFCONA – 3085 is very compatible with most systems; therefore, it may stabilize foam. In foam-sensitive systems, this product should be used in combination with a suitable defoamer. For most conventional pressure spray applications, additional defoamers are not required.
  • AFCONA-3085 can be used in all solvent-based and water based systems.

Incorporation
AFCONA-3085 may be added at any stage during the production process. If added during the dispersion process, it speeds up wetting.
Addition and Dosage
AFCONA-3085 may be added at 0.1 - 1.0% based on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 0.2 - 0.5% based on total formulation is sufficient. To prevent hand marking in PU wood coatings, use 1 - 3% based on total formulation.
