- Product Properties
AFCONA – 3581 is the 50% solid version of AFCONA – 3580. AFCONA-3581 is an organically modified polysiloxane with very short chain repeatable units of siloxane. Due to the small molecules, they move very fast to a defected area. This gives very good anti-crater properties without any intercoat adhesion problems.; AFCONA – 3581 is also widely uses in electroplating and electro deposition coating to avoid crater formation as well as giving a smooth, good leveling and good appearance coating. Itself is not an ionic structure, does it can be use in anionic and cationic system.; AFCONA-3581 is recommended to use in all kind of water-based coatings with a pH range of 4 - 10.; The use of AFCONA-3581 gives the following advantages: 1. excellent anti-crater behavior 2. improved leveling 3. better substrate wetting 4. no intercoat adhesion problems 5. little or no foam stabilization Note: the slip performance, due to the small molecules, is less.
- Addition and Dosage
Addition and dosage 0.1 - 1.0% on total formulation. In general, under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.1 – 0.3% based on total formulation.. Incorporation AFCONA-3581 should be added prior to, or after processing
