  • Modified polyalkyl polysiloxane silicone with better defoaming properties than 3236 but less than 3238 in medium to high polar systems. Suitable for soam sensitive systems, such as solventless polyurethane & epoxies. Improves matting in UV.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone developed for high-slip applications where foam stabilization is undesirable. Good transparency, effective in all solvent-based coatings such as NC, AC, polyurethane and baking paints.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone with improved leveling and anti-crater performance in polyurethane and UV coatings from 3250.
  • Polyacrylic polymer Leveling and flow control agent for solvent based coatings with anti-crater properties. AFCONA –3258 has been developed to replace fluorocarbon modified leveling agents, providing the same leveling and anti-crater performance. It is the 100% active version of AFCONA –3758. AFCONA –3258 is a specially modified polyacrylic polymer. It reduces drastically surface tension of organic coating systems. This, together with good compatibility in most solvent-based systems and with minimal foam stabilizing effect, makes it very effective as an anti-crater and flow control agent for all solvent based coating. The leveling and anti-crater performance of AFCONA –3258 can be further improve by combining with AFCONA silicone containing or fluorocarbon containing leveling agents. It will further improve the leveling, anti-crater and substrate wetting properties. AFCONA-3258 is especially suitable for: 1) stoving enamels based on alkyd, acrylic and polyesterresins 2) polyurethanecoatings 3) two-pack epoxycompounds 4) thermoplastic system like NC, TPA andCAB 5) UVcoating
  • Fluorocarbon modified polymer Anti-crater, substrate wetting and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings AFCONA –3277 is the100% active ingredient version of AFCONA –3777. Thus, it has similar performance as AFCONA –3777 in the same solid content form. AFCONA-3277 is a fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic. It can serve as non-silicone leveling agent, where silicone is not permitted due to intercoat adhesion problems. However, we highly recommend the usage of combination with a suitable Polysiloxane for better overall performance, if silicones are permitted. If the requirements are to solve problems caused by high surface tension or to bring down the surface tension strongly, AFCONA-3700 will be a better choice. AFCONA-3700 is also nearly 100% active and due to the higher fluorocarbon content more effective with a lower dosage. AFCONA -3700 has better compatibility properties than AFCONA-3277. However, the foam stabilizing effect is slightly higher. AFCONA-3277: 1) improves levelling 2) prevents cratering 3) helps substrate wetting 4) acts as a defoamer and de-aeration aid 5) does not interfere with intercoat adhesion AFCONA –3277 is recommended for all solvent-based and high solid systems. Due to AFCONA –3277 do not contain any solvent, it very suitable to use in high solids and solvent-free systems like UV, epoxy, polyurethane, PMMA flooring etc.
  • Short-chain modified polysiloxane silicone. Recoatable, will not influence intercoat adhesion. Recommended for baking paints based on alkyd-melamine, oil-free polyesters and thermosetting acrylics. Improves hot water soaking resistance.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone based polymer with di-hydroxyl functional groups terminated at both ends. This allows it to cross-link in polyurethane systems as well as in baking paints. Very high slip and leveling, 100% version of 3085.
  • Modified polysiloxane emulsion slip and leveling agent for water-based systems.  (APE free) Good water resistance and slip performance. No foam stabilizing effect. High dosages provide water repellent effect.
  • Organically modified polysiloxane for aqueous systems. Short chain polysiloxane with no influence on intercoat adhesion in multi-coat systems. Very strong anti-cratering. Must be used in combination with a suitable defoamer. Recommended for electro deposition coatings and all other water-based systems.

  • Organically modified polysiloxane for aqueous systems. Silicone based leveling, substrate wetting and anti-crater agent for aqueous coatings & inks without influent of inter-coat adhesion. AFCONA –3588 is a special designed polyether modified polysiloxane. It moves very fast in defective part of coatings, and can decrease the surface tension easily, and it has good compatibility properties. Hence, it is very effective in below properties for any water based systems: 1) Excellent anti-crater behavior. 2) Improved leveling. 3) Fast & better substrate wetting. 4) No inter-coat adhesion problems. 5) Little or no foam stabilization.
