AFCONA 3773
AFCONA 3773 is a leveling and surface tension reduction agent for non-aqueous industrial coatings. It is an acrylic-modified fluorocarbon designed to provide anti-crater, substrate wetting, and leveling performance. Compared to AFCONA 3777, AFCONA 3773 has better compatibility and leveling performance. It offers a well-balanced combination of defoaming and leveling performance, making it an ideal choice for use as a universal leveling agent.
