AFCONA 5054

Generic Family: Additive -- PlasticizerSupplied by: AFCONA Additives Sdn Bhd
Wetting and dispersing additive to prevent sedimentation and flooding of pigments.

Product Properties:
  • AFCONA-5054 helps to prevent interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments/extenders and the binder, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time. It stabilized pigment through electrical charge repulsion forces.

AFCONA - 5054 has below special properties and recommended in below systems:
  • AFCONA - 5054 gives very wide compatibility with almost all resins systems. Compared to AFCONA - 5044, AFCONA - 5054 has more polar groups and a higher molecular weight. Due to these facts AFCONA - 5054 gives better anti-settling effect than AFCONA - 5044.
  • Like AFCONA - 5044, AFCONA - 5054 mainly is used in primers and decorative paints. It also widely used in marine and heavy duty paints. AFCONA - 5044 has better wetting properties and AFCONA - 5054 gives better anti-settling and antiflooding properties.
  • AFCONA-5054 is ideal for dispersing organophilic Bentonites, because it reduces dispersion time, improves the storage stability of the final paste and gives a thixotropic, easily processed paste-product.
  • AFCONA-5054 is especially suitable for non-polar to medium-polar binder systems, i.e. air-drying alkyd resins, chlorinated polymers, alkyd/amino resin combinations and epoxies.
  • AFCONA-5054 can cause discoloration in nitrocellulose varnishes and cause gel in certain UPE resin.

Note: AFCONA - 5054 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the quality.
