AFCONA 7370
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
AFCONA 7370 is a polyacrylate surface modifier with anti-foam and leveling properties. It is recommended for unsaturated polyester, PVC, epoxy, and polyurethane resin systems. This grade has a high reactivity to the air interface. It will migrate evenly to the surface to provide good leveling and anti-foam properties. In pigmented system, AFCONA 7370 will provide an even surface tension gradient that results in anti-floating and anti-flooding.
