AFCONA 7375
- Chemical Family
- Fluoropolymers
AFCONA 7375 is a modified fluorocarbon polyacrylate surface modifier with anti-foaming and leveling properties. It is more highly fluorocarbon modified than AFCONA 7371 and is recommended for use in unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems. It has high reactivity to the air interface, allowing it to migrate evenly to the surface to provide good leveling and anti-foaming properties.

- Product Properties
AFCONA-7375 is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems.; AFCONA-7375 has high reactivity to the air interface. It will migrate evenly to the surface to provide good leveling and anti-foam properties. In pigmented systems, AFCONA-7375 will provide an even surface tension gradient that results in anti-floating and anti-flooding.; With the higher fluorocarbon modification, AFCONA-7375 is excellent in surface tension related performance, such as anti-cratering, fiber wetting, pigment and extender wetting and faster leveling.; Note: AFCONA-7375 may become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not impact the performance or quality of the product.
- Addition and Dosage
- 0.3 – 2.0% based on total formulation.
- Storage Information
