Incorporation

Afcona-4201 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding the pigments.

Core Functions

100% active. Great for all pigment types-especially organics and CB

Product Features

Great for high solids/VOC free systems including inks.; Polyurethane dispersant supplied in 100% active form.Recommended for solvent-free systems, where conventional wetting and dispersing agents cannot perform with organic pigments and carbon blacks.; Extremely good compatibility with thermoplastic acrylic, NC and CAB. Also great choice for ink dispersions due to solvent-free nature.; Afcona-4201 is a result of an innovative concept of polyurethane dispersants. This innovative technology is based on an own new developed intermediate monomer and own new developed anchoring groups.

Storage Condition

Afcona-4201 should be stored in a cool, dry place.
