- Incorporation
AFCONA-3585 should be added prior to, or after processing.
- Storage Condition
AFCONA-3585 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will keep up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated on the container.
- Product Properties
AFCONA – 3585 has a very strong surface tension reduction and good compatibility properties. Hence, it is very effective in below properties for any water based systems: 1) Excellent anti-crater behavior. 2) Better substrate wetting. 3) Improved leveling. 4) No inter-coat adhesion problems. 5 ) Little or no foam stabilization. 6) Good compatibility. Note: the slip performance, due to the small molecules, is less.
