- Product Properties
AFCONA-5210 helps to wet and disperse inorganic pigments, mainly TiO2, and extenders. AFCONA – 5210 is special designed as effective dispersant for TiO2. Therefore, recommended for pure white systems. However, if later the white base need to be tinted with other colors, AFCONA-4010 will be more suitable. AFCONA – 5210 has below special properties and recommended in below systems: 1) AFCONA – 5210 is tailor made as effective dispersant for TiO2 and extenders. 2) It has very good viscosity reduction properties. In high extender loaded systems, like UPE in artificial marble, Afcona 5210 gives very strong viscosity reduction to allow higher filler loading. 3) Due to the effective viscosity reduction, it also decreases dispersing time. 4) AFCONA-5210 is particularly suitable for the following coating systems: - Automotive (OEM and refinish) - General industrial - Coil coating - Acid curing - UPE - Epoxy - Polyurethane 5) In electrostatic spraying system for pure white paint, AFCONA – 5210 gives the highest gloss performance. Note: AFCONA – 5210 is solid paste form at room temperature. Can be easily dissolve in solvents. If heated to 60°C, flowable liquid form can be obtain and this will not influence the performance of the products.
