AFCONA 3231
Product Properties:
- AFCONA-3231 gives very good slip and the slip characteristic is oily type, also called as wet look appearance. Therefore, it can enhance visually film thickness AFCONA - 3231 normally used in metal coatings like industrial baking systems, car refinish polyurethane top clear coats and other vehicle paint.
- AFCONA - 3231 also widely used in UV coatings due to the good leveling and slip performance. However, it does not contain any reactive functional group that can cross-link with UV resin system.
- Due to its high surface activity, AFCONA-3231 can interfere with intercoat adhesion when recoated without sanding. If air is introduced by the application equipment, the use of small amounts of defoamers such as AFCONA-2020 and AFCONA-2022 are recommended.
AFCONA - 3231 is recommended in below systems:
- 2K Polyurethane. It gives low sensitivity to inner bubble.
- Industrial baking systems where baking temperature is less than 170°C. In normal case, AFCONA - 3030 or AFCONA - 3233 is recommended for industrial baking systems. However, if higher slip is needed, AFCONA -3231 will be the better choice.
- UV coatings. A lot of time, AFCONA - 3231 is selected for UV due to the less foam stabilizing effect and good compatibility.
