AFCONA 3031

Generic Family: Additive -- Slip Agent / Lubricant / Mold Release / Processing Aid • Supplied by: AFCONA Additives Sdn Bhd

Slip and levelling additive used mainly in metal and UV coatings.

Product Properties:

AFCONA-3031 is a polyether modified polysiloxane. It 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 - 3031 normally used in metal coatings like industrial baking systems, car refinish polyurethane top clear coats and other vehicle paint.

AFCONA - 3031 also widely used in UV coatings due to the good levelling 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-3031 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 - 3031 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 is recommended for industrial baking systems. However, if higher slip is needed, AFCONA -3031 will be the better choice.

UV coatings. A lot of time, AFCONA - 3031 is selected for UV due to the less foam stabilizing effect and good compatibility.
