AFCONA 3700

Generic Family: Additive -- Slip Agent / Lubricant / Mold Release / Processing AidSupplied by: AFCONA Additives Sdn Bhd
Wetting, levelling and flow control agent for solvent-free and solvent-based coatings with excellent anti-crater properties.

Product Properties:
  • AFCONA - 3700 is a highly fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic polymer. It has very low surface tension and therefore, it can substitute and perform as silicones without the side effects of silicones.
  • AFCONA - 3700 reduces drastically surface tension of organic coating systems. This, together with good compatibility with most solvent-based systems and minimal foam stabilizing effect, makes it very effective as an anti-crater and flow control agent for all solvent-based coatings.
  • Due to the low surface tension, it gives very good substrate wetting. Normally recommended to combine with a silicone based leveling agent to give optimum performance on leveling, anti-crater as well as flow control.
  • AFCONA - 3700 is widely usedeispecially in refinish topcoats as a good prevention for crater formation caused by different environment on applications sites. Beside this, it improves the verical leveling in this application strongly.

AFCONA - 3700 is an excellent anti-crater and substrate wetting agent. AFCONA - 3700 is especially suited for:
  • stoving enamels based on alkyd, acrylic, and polyester resins
  • polyurethane coatings
  • two-pack epoxy compounds
  • air-drying alkyd systems
  • UV coatings
