Afcona 4011
- Chemical Family
- Polyurethanes (PU)
Afcona 4011 is a highly versatile additive designed for use in various coatings, including automotive OEM coatings, floor coatings, architectural coatings, and industrial coatings. Compatible with acrylics, alkyds, and polyesters, and suitable for wood substrates, this product offers excellent whiteness and matting properties, enhancing the overall quality of coatings. It is particularly effective in dispersing inorganic and organic pigments such as iron oxides and titanium dioxides.

- Product Properties
AFCONA – 4011 is an improve version of AFCONA 4010 with better balance between price and performance. AFCONA-4011 is a polymeric dispersant principally developed for stabilizing inorganic pigments like TiO2, Iron oxides and matting agents. It can be used in almost all solvent- based coating systems, because AFCONA – 4011 has very good compatibility with almost all resin used in coatings. The special properties and recommended systems for AFCONA – 4011 as below: 1) AFCONA – 4011 is a very good dispersant for TiO2 as it gives better whiteness and hiding power. 2) AFCONA – 4011 is widely used in preparation of matting agent pastes. It gives better matting agent orientation, constant gloss level after storage and soft feel matting appearance. 3) AFCONA – 4011 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) Mostly, AFCONA – 4011 is used as dispersant for inorganic pigments and some organic pigments. In case, AFCONA – 4011 fail with organic pigments, other more effective and higher molecular weight AFCONA polymeric dispersants must be used. It is always possible to mix combinations of pigments stabilized with AFCONA-4011 and organic pigments stabilized with higher molecular weight dispersants. AFCONA – 4011 is an improve version of AFCONA 4010 with better balance between price and performance. AFCONA-4011 is a polymeric dispersant principally developed for stabilizing inorganic pigments like TiO2, Iron oxides and matting agents. It can be used in almost all solvent- based coating systems, because AFCONA – 4011 has very good compatibility with almost all resin used in coatings. Note: AFCONA – 4011 will become slightly hazy at temperature 5°C and below, but this will not influent the quality
