AFCONA 7300
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
AFCONA 7300 is a polysiloxane-based polymer. It provides surface leveling, substrate wetting, and improves the slip & glossiness of the finished product. AFCONA 7300 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems. It has a high reactivity to the air interface. It will migrate evenly to the surface to provide good leveling and slip.

- Product Properties
AFCONA-7300 is a polysiloxane based polymer. It provides surface leveling, substrate wetting, and improves the slip & glossiness of the finished product. AFCONA-7300 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems.; AFCONA-7300 has a high reactivity to the air interface. It will migrate evenly to the surface to provide good leveling and slip. In pigmented system, AFCONA-7300 will provide an even surface tension gradient that resulting in anti-floating and anti-flooding.; Note: AFCONA-7300 may become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not impact the performance or quality of the product.
- Addition and Dosage
