Product Properties
AFCONA-5010 helps to wet and disperse
inorganic pigments, mainly TiO2, and extenders.
AFCONA – 5010 is special designed as
effective dispersant for TiO2. Therefore,
recommended for pure white systems. However,
if later the white base need to be tinted with
other colors, AFCONA-4010 will be more
suitable.
AFCONA – 5010 has below special properties
and recommended in below systems:
- AFCONA – 5010 is tailor made as effective
dispersant for TiO2 and extenders.
- It has very good viscosity reduction
properties. In high extender loaded systems,
like UPE in artificial marble, AFCONA
5010 gives very strong viscosity reduction to
allow higher filler loading.
- Due to the effective viscosity reduction, it
also decreases dispersing time.
- AFCONA-5010 is particularly suitable for
the following coating systems:
-automotive (OEM and refinish)
-general industrial
-coil coating
-acid curing
- In electrostatic spraying system for pure
white paint, AFCONA – 5010 gives the
highest gloss performance.
AFCONA-5010 could have a catalyzing effect
on the reaction in stoving enamels. This may
lead to viscosity increase during storage.
Note: AFCONA – 5010 will become slightly
hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not
influence the quality.
Storage
AFCONA-5010 should be stored in a cool dry
place. When kept in an original unopened
container, it will keep up to 5 years from the
date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated
on the container.
