- Product Properties
AFCONA-5515 is a dispersing additive for a wide range of water-based coatings. The product is especially suited for the dispersion of inorganic pigments.. Compared with inorganic dispersing agents, e.g. polyphosphate products, the organic polymer - based AFCONA-5515 provides improved storage stability of both the pigment dispersion and the formulated paint. There is little or no adverse reaction to high temperatures or pH changes. AFCONA-5515 can be used as supplied.
- Addition and Dosage
- Calculation method for the required amount of active ingredient on pigment:
- TiO2
- 1 - 2%
- Other inorganic pigments
- 2 - 8%
- Fillers
- 0.4 – 0.8%
- In common with other dispersing agents, because of variation in the dispersant demand of pigments and fillers, these dosage recommendations need to be verified through testing.
- Storage Information
AFCONA-5515 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in its original, unopened container, it will keep up to 1 year from the date of manufacture. The expiration date is indicated on the container. Although AFCONA-5515 is freeze stable, it is recommended to store the product at temperatures above 5°C to enable easy handling.
