- Product Properties
AFCONA – 5244 is the nearly 100% active solid version of AFCONA - 5044. Especially designed for high solid systems where the presence of solvents must be limited.; AFCONA-5244 is an additive to help pigment dispersion. It reduces the interfacial tension between pigments or extenders and the vehicle. It stabilizes the pigments through electrical charge repulsion forces.; Compared to the same active solid AFCONA – 5244 has the same properties as AFCONA – 5044. For details, please refer to the special properties and recommendations of AFCONA 5044.; Due to the nearly 100% active solids AFCONA-5244 is very suitable for solvent-free or high solid systems like: 1) epoxies and polyurethane primers 2) UPE applications like gel coat, buttons, SMC, BMC etc 3) PVC systems Because AFCONA-5244 has the same properties as AFCONA-5044 it could replace AFCONA-5044 on the same solid level. Note: AFCONA – 5244 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5°C. However, this will not influence the quality.
- Addition and Dosage
Addition and dosage 0.1 - 1.0% based on inorganic pigments 1.0 - 2.5% based on organic pigments For Bentonite gels use 15 - 25% on the Bentonites Incorporation When used in mill-bases, add before grinding. In Bentonite dispersions use as follows : 87.5-88.5 parts of solvent 10 parts of Bentonite 2.5 - 1.5 parts of AFCONA-5244 ---------- 100 parts
- Chemical Composition
- Unsaturated polyamide and acid ester salts
- Compatible Polymers and Resins
- Epoxies (EP)
- Polyurethanes (PU)
