- Product Properties
AFCONA-6226 is an improved version of AFCONA – 6225. It is based on more readily available raw materials. It gives better dispersing performance as well as better color acceptance in decorative paints. AFCONA – 6226 has the following properties compared to AFCONA - 6225:; AFCONA-6226 is more hydrophilic; it can dissolve in water much more easily than AFCONA – 6225. Therefore, pigment pastes based on AFCONA - 6226 will give better color strength.; AFCONA-6226 gives better pigment stability, color development, and lower color paste viscosity.; AFCONA – 6226 also gives better color acceptance in waterbased and alkyd-based paint.; Note: AFCONA – 6226 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5°C. This will not influence the performance of the product.
- Addition and Dosage
Calculation method for the required amount of active ingredient based on pigment:; Universal colorants:; 5 - 10% for inorganic pigments; 10 - 20% for organic pigments; Base paints - 0.5 - 1.5% on total based paints Bentonites/thickeners - 15 - 25% on active substance
- Storage Information
