AFCONA-4202 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will keep up to 5 years from the date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated on the container.
- Product Properties
AFCONA-4202 is a very compatible polymeric dispersant as it compatible with almost all the resin system in the market ranging from alkyd to NC, CAB, epoxy and thermoplastic acrylic. Due to it wide compatibility, AFCONA – 4202 is highly recommended for the formulation of solvent based Resin Minimum Pigment Concentrate. The properties of Afcona 4202 as below: 1) AFCONA – 4202 gives good viscosity reduction and pigment stability. 2) AFCONA – 4202 has very good compatibility and performance in common resin systems such as PU, epoxy, polyester/melamine, thermosetting acrylic/melamine, alkyd/melamine, acid curing, NC, UV as well as Thermoplastic Acrylic. 3) AFCONA – 4202 supply in almost 100% active ingredients, therefore, it is an excellent dispersant for high solid coatings like Polyurethane, epoxy and UV coating. 4) The almost 100% solvent-free form makes it also a very interesting dispersant for ink formulations. This due to the free choice of solvents. Note: 1) AFCONA – 4201 will become slightly hazyat temperatures below 5° C. Even at -15° Cthe slight haziness stay the same. This willnot influence the quality.
