- Product Properties
AFCONA – LE 1000 is an effective dispersing agent for preparation of solvent and water based pigment concentrate. This is a high molecular weight dispersing agent where it stabilized pigments through steric hindrance, thus it is suitable for all type of pigments.; AFCONA – LE 1000 is complete water - soluble and does not necessary has to be neutralized. However, neutralization to pH 9 will strongly improve the viscosity reduction performance.; Note: AFCONA – LE 1000 will become hazy. Heat up to 50°C and mix well before use. This will not influence the quality.
