Product Properties
AFCONA-5010 helps to wet and disperse
inorganic pigments, mainly TiO2, and extenders.
AFCONA – 5010 is special designed as
effective dispersant for TiO2. Therefore,
recommended for pure white systems. However,
if later the white base need to be tinted with
other colors, AFCONA-4010 will be more
suitable.
AFCONA – 5010 has below special properties
and recommended in below systems:
AFCONA – 5010 is tailor made as effective
dispersant for TiO2 and extenders.
It has very good viscosity reduction
properties. In high extender loaded systems,
like UPE in artificial marble, AFCONA
5010 gives very strong viscosity reduction to
allow higher filler loading.
Due to the effective viscosity reduction, it
also decreases dispersing time.
AFCONA-5010 is particularly suitable for
the following coating systems:
-automotive (OEM and refinish)
-general industrial
-coil coating
-acid curing
In electrostatic spraying system for pure
white paint, AFCONA – 5010 gives the
highest gloss performance.
AFCONA-5010 could have a catalyzing effect
on the reaction in stoving enamels. This may
lead to viscosity increase during storage.
Note: AFCONA – 5010 will become slightly
hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not
influence the quality.
Storage
AFCONA-5010 should be stored in a cool dry
place. When kept in an original unopened
container, it will keep up to 5 years from the
date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated
on the container.
