AFCONA 4595
AFCONA 4595 is a wetting and dispersing additive for water-based coatings and pigment concentrates. It improves storage stability and prevents negative flocculation effects, such as flooding and floating. It is a high molecular weight polymeric dispersant designed for deflocculation of pigments in water-based decorative and industrial paints.
