- Product Properties
AFCONA-5051 is a dispersant mainly developed for dispersing and stabilizing transparent iron oxide pigments. This results in:; Optimum transparency; Higher color strength; Flocculation stability; Lower viscosity; Better storage stability; AFCONA-5051 could also be used as a dispersant for other inorganic pigments and extenders, where it reduces the viscosity in the dispersion. Therefor it is very useful in high filled systems. AFCONA-5051 differs from AFCONA-5251, by the solvents content. This makes this product in area with temperatures below 5°C easier in handling AFCONA-5051 is recommended for manufacturing of resin free pigment or resin containing iron oxide pigment concentrates for decorative as well as for industrial paints. Very stable concentrates could be formulated. . Note: AFCONA – 5051 will become slightly hazy at temperatures 5° C. This will not influence the quality and do not need re-heating.
