Afcona 4016 is a polymeric dispersant designed primarily for inorganic pigments, along with some organic pigments, in solventborne coatings. It is compatible with nitrocellulose, unsaturated polyester (UPE), and thermoplastic acrylic resins. This additive finds applications in floor coatings, decorative paints, and other building and construction coatings, offering good compatibility and high performance. As a dispersing agent, it enhances the overall performance and appearance of coatings, making it a valuable component in various coating formulations.

- Incorporation
AFCONA-4016 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding the pigments.
- Storage Condition
AFCONA-4016 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-4016 is a polymeric dispersant principally developed for stabilizing inorganic pigments like TiO2, Iron oxides and matting agents. It could also stabilize organic pigments and the performance is better than AFCONA – 4010 or AFCONA 4009 in organic and carbon black. It can be used in almost all solvent-based coating systems due to it very good compatibility with almost all resins. The special properties and recommended systems for AFCONA – 4016 as below: 1) Due to it lower price comparing to AFCONA – 4050, AFCONA – 4016 are often use in price sensitive system like drum paint, NC and unsaturated polyester. 2) AFCONA – 4016 also have good compatibility with CAB and Thermoplastic acrylic. Thus also suitable for refinish paint where price is a concern. However for this system our AFCONA – 4200 or AFCONA – 4077 are much better choice. 3) AFCONA – 4016 can be used as co-grinding dispersant in mill bases. It also can act as post adding additive for correction of flooding and floating effects. 4) AFCONA-4016 has been developed as a general dispersing agent for all solvent-based paints from high performance industrial coatings to normal decorative paints. It has very good pigment stability performance on inorganic pigments and some selected organic pigments. Note: AFCONA – 4016 will become slightly hazy at temperature 5°C and below, but this will not influent the quality.
