AFCONA 5054
- Chemical Family
- Carboxylic Acids & Derivatives
AFCONA 5054 is a wetting and dispersing additive to prevent sedimentation and flooding of pigments. It helps to reduce interfacial tension between hydrophilic pigments/extenders and the binder, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time. It stabilizes pigment through electrical charge repulsion forces.
