  • Fatty acid modified polyamide economical grade wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-based pigment dispersions. Designed to replace first-generation products such as 5044, 5054, 5207. Stabilizes pigments through electrical charge repulsion forces. Very effective in bentonite gel preparation. 100% active version of 5009.
  • OH-functional unsaturated modified carboxylic acid for wetting and dispersing in solvent-based systems. Designed for stabilization of all kinds of pigments in air-drying alkyds.
  • Alkylol ammonium salt of a HMW carboxylic acid wetting and dispersing agent for water and solvent-based systems. Very good anti-settling effect. Extremely suitable for wash primers.
  • HMW unsaturated carboxylic acid wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-based systems. Silicone-free version of 5065, no foam stabilizing effect. Stronger anti-settling properties.
  • HMW unsaturated carboxylic acid with polysiloxane wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-based systems. An effective co-grinding agent, containing polysiloxane. Can be used as a post-add to correct floating and flooding problems. Can give foam stabilizing effect due to the silicone modification.
  • HMW carboxylic acid salt wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-based systems. Higher polarity compared to 5044. Used in low to medium polar systems. Can cause yellowing in NC. Most recommended for bentonite gel preparations.
  • Unsaturated polyamide and acid ester salt universal dispersant for solvent-based systems. Can be used to prepare bentonite gels.
  • Amine rich polymer of carboxylic acid and polyamide dispersing agent for carbon blacks and organic pigments. Specifically for artificial leather, polyurethane, alkyd, polyamide and printing ink systems.
  • Solution of acidic polyester phosphorous dispersing and wetting agent specifically designed for pure white paints in solvent-based systems. Very good viscosity reduction. Suitable for most solvent-based systems. Not suitable for air-drying ink systems.
  • Universal unsaturated polyamide and acid ester salt dispersant and wetting agent for all solvent-based systems. Can be used to prepare bentointe gels. An economic replacement for 5044.
  • Fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic Anti-crater, substrate wetting and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings AFCONA-3670 is an improved version of AFCONA-3777 on managing surface control of coatings. It has lower surface tension than AFCONA -3777. The combination with a suitable polysiloxane for better overall performance is highly recommended. Due to the fluorocarbon modification, it gives lower surface tension than normal pure acrylic leveling agents. Therefore, it gives better anti-crater and improved substrate wetting. The obvious performances of AFCONA-3670 are: 1. improve leveling 2. prevent craters 3. help substrate wetting 4. act as a defoamer and de-aeration aid 5. do not interfere with intercoat adhesion AFCONA-3670 is suitable for all solvent based coatings, especially: 1. baking paints, as leveling and anti-crater agent 2. PU coatings, as leveling, anti-crater and anti inner bubble agent 3. epoxies, as leveling and anti-crater agent
  • Modified polyacrylate polymer based on CRP (Controlled Radical Polymerization) technology. Offers excellent performance in stabilizing both inorganic and organic pigments. Very good stability performance in carbon black dispersions, where very high jetness can be achieved. In metallic systems, it gives a golden undertone for high channel black dispersions.
