- Incorporation
AFCONA-3835 should be added at the last stage of the production process. The production process after added AFCONA - 3835 should be below 50°C.
- Storage Condition
AFCONA-3835 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will keep up to 2 years from the date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated on the container. 0.05 - 1.0% on total formulation. In general under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.1 – 0.5% based on total formulation
- Product Properties
modified polysiloxane with methacrylate functional that can crosslinking to UV / EB systems. It has averagely 7 functional groups per molecule. With this property, it allows the formulator to formulate a permanent slip coating for anti-blocking and anti-scratch coating. AFCONA-3835 have below properties and recommended for systems as below 1) It has good slip and leveling performances where after crosslinking, it gives permanent slip. 2) It suitable for UV and EB curing systems. 3) Due to it methacrylate functional, it also can be used for any systems that using the unsaturated bond crosslinking as primary curing reaction such as UPE.
