Product Properties

AFCONA-6220 is able to stabilize inorganic and organic pigments in water and solvents. In addition, it makes the polar ingredients of universal colorants used in non-polar solventbased paints more compatible. AFCONA – 6220 has below special properties and recommended in below systems: 1) Act as an economic dispersant for the preparation of universal pigment concentrates for water and solvent- based decorative coatings. For more effectiveness a combination with AFCONA – 4560 will give better results 2) Improves the color acceptance of commercial colorants in air-drying alkyds 3) AFCONA-6220 is an activator for Bentonites as well as for associated and acrylic thickeners 4) In overall performances, AFCONA – 6225 is better than AFCONA – 6220 in almost all aspects Note: AFCONA – 6220 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the quality.

Addition and Dosage

Calculation method for the required amount of active ingredient on pigment: Universal colorants:; 5 - 10% for inorganic pigments; 10 - 20% for organic pigments; Base-paints 0.5 - 1.5% on total based paints; Bentonites 15 - 25% on active /thickeners substance
