Leveling and surface tension reduction agent for aqueous and non-aqueous coatings.

Product Properties:

• AFCONA-3772 is an acrylic modified fluorocarbon. It contains some carboxylic acid groups, which increase the polarity of the polymer to give good compatibility with most common resins used in coating.

• For use in aqueous coatings, AFCONA-3772 must be neutralized with a suitable amine.

• Complete water solubility will be obtained by addition of 9% triethylamine or 12% ammonia solution (25% concentration).

AFCONA-3772:

• gives no in can haziness

• provides anti-flooding and floating

• improves levelling

• prevents craters and orange-peel

• helps substrate wetting

In solvent-based coatings, other non- silicone leveling agents like AFCONA - 3770, AFCONA - 3670 and AFCONA-3777 gives better performance than AFCONA-3772. Due to it good compatibility, AFCONA - 3772 is recommended mainly for high gloss clear coatings and as anti inner bubble aid for PU coatings.

Like AFCONA - 3730, AFCONA - 3772 also have very good compatibility with most resin system. However AFCONA - 3730 is much better in leveling and AFCONA - 3772 is better in anti-crater and substrate wetting. In clear coating, to obtain all the performances mentioned, we recommended to combine these 2 additives together. For pigmented, matted and primer, we have other products like AFCONA - 3670, AFCONA - 3770 and etc that can fulfill all requirements.
