Incorporation

Afcona-3522 should be added at the end of the batch preparation. For easier incorporation, Afcona-3522 may be diluted with water.

Product Features

Afcona-3522 is a waterbased emulsion of an organically modified polysiloxane. The active ingredient is a hydrophobic polymer that gives water resistance and slip performance to the coating after drying. Afcona-3522 promotes the general coating surface characteristics and improves the following properties:; Crater prevention and substrate wetting; Leveling; Slip and surface smoothness; Water-repellency; This product also offers low foam stabilization. Afcona-3522 is recommended for use in all types of waterbased coatings.
