AFCONA 5504S is a multi-functional additive that can help wet out difficult or contaminated substrates, lower the surface tension of the coating system, improve pigment grind efficiency, and prevent surface defects such as fisheyes, edge crawl, and craters. Furthermore, its great defoaming properties reduce water sensitivity of the final system due to its hydrophobic nature.
