- Product Features
In today coating world, polymers containing fluorocarbon is nearly banned in all coating related to electronic application. Afcona – 3758 are mainly developed to replace fluorocarbon modified leveling agent where it gives the same levelling and anti-crater performance.; Afcona – 3758 is a special modified polyacrylic polymer. It reduces drastically surface tension of organic coating systems. This, together with good compatibility in most solvent-based systems and with minimal foam stabilizing effect, makes it very effective as an anti-crater and flow control agent for all solvent based coating.; The levelling and anti-crater of Afcona – 3758 can be further improve by combine with Afcona any silicone containing or fluorocarbon containing, wherever it permitted, leveling agent. It will further improve the levelling, anti-crater and substrate wetting properties.
- Storage Condition
Afcona-3758 should be stored in a cool dry place.
- Addition and Dosage
0.1 – 1.0% on total formulation. In general, under normal conditions, the dosage is 0.2 – 0.5% based on total formulation.
- Applications
Afcona-3758 is especially suitable for:; Stoving enamels based on alkyd, acrylic and polyester resins; Polyurethane coatings; Two-pack epoxy compounds; Thermoplastic system like nc, tpa and cab; UV coating
