AFCONA 5008

Generic Family: Additive -- Plasticizer • Supplied by: AFCONA Additives Sdn Bhd

Anionic/cationic wetting and dispersing additive to improve the wetting of pigment surfaces and organically treated Bentonites.

Product Properties:

AFCONA-5008 is an additive for pigment dispersion. It reduces the interfacial tension between pigments or extenders and the vehicle. It stabilizes the pigments through electrical charge repulsion forces.

AFCONA - 5008 has below special properties and recommended in below systems:

AFCONA - 5008 is a very compatible polymer. It can be used in all resin systems, ranging from none polar to high polar systems.

Often, AFCONA - 5008 is used in primer and some decorative paint. It also widely used in marine and heavy duty paints as these paint systems do not require very high gloss finishing and the chemical and physical properties are more important than the appearance.

Using AFCONA - 5008 will also decreased pigment sedimentation, because it will induce hydrogen bond formation in the system. However, for better anti-settling products like AFCONA - 5066 and AFCONA - 5071 will perform much better.

In the dispersion of organically treated Bentonites, the use of AFCONA-5008 offers the following advantages:

shorter dispersion time

easier handling of the Bentonite gel

improved storage stability

Note: AFCONA - 5008 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the quality.
