AFCONA 3581

AFCONA 3581 is a silicone-based leveling and anti-crater agent for aqueous coatings that does not influence intercoat adhesion. Organically modified polysiloxane for aqueous systems. It is an organically modified polysiloxane with very short chain repeatable units of siloxane. These small molecules allow it to move very quickly to an area of defects. This offers very good anti-crater properties without causing intercoat adhesion problems.
