Afcona USA Inc.

  • Cationic/anionic co-polymer with pigment affinity groups for wetting and dispersing in solvent-based systems. Improved version of 5207 with broader resin compatibility. Offers near-HMWD performance at a price point closer to conventional agents.
  • HMW carboxylic acid polymer for wetting and dispersing in solvent-based systems. Suitable to stabilize transparent iron oxide pigments. Can be used as a dispersant for other inorganic pigments and extenders to reduce the dispersion viscosity, making it useful in highly filled systems.
  • Unsaturated polyamide and acid ester salt for wetting and dispersing in solvent-based systems.
  • A non-silicone pure polyacrylic polymer leveling agent. Provides anti-cratering, leveling and improved substrate wetting. Delivers similar performance to fluorocarbon modified products.
  • Pigment synergist developed for water-based systems. 98% active.
  • Modified polyacrylate polymeric dispersant based on CRP (Controlled Radical Polymerization) technology for solvent-based systems. High molecular weight working towards deflocculation of all types of pigments. 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.
  • Based on ketoxime and phosphorous ester salt. Anti-gelling agent for air-drying alkyd and baking paints. In air-drying alkyds, the ketoxime forms a protective layer on the top of the paint to reduce oxidation.
  • Fatty acid modified polyester improved pigment stability over 6220. Color acceptance aid & dispersant for all kinds of pigments for water & solvent-based systems. Can be used to formulate resin free universal colorants. 96% active.
  • Special block-copolymer solvent-free dispersing agent for preparation of solvent and water-based pigment concentrates. Suitable for all type of pigments. Compatible with many let-down systems.
  • Polymetric fluorocarbon polyacrylic non-silicone slip and leveling agent. Very strong surface tension reduction properties. Excellent anti-cratering, substrate wetting and promotion of vertical flow. Can be used in all solvent-based systems. Best in car-refinish, plastic coatings and industrial coatings.
  • Silicone-based modified polysiloxane defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. Has additional leveling properties in comparison to 2035.
  • A non-silicone polymer defoamer for solvent-based systems. Very good compatibility and is extremely suitable for clear and high-gloss coating applications.
  • Modified polysiloxane silicone based defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. Shows very good performance for Epoxy and PU systems, especially solvent-less applications.
  • Fluorocarbon modified polysiloxane silicone with strong surface tension reduction property. This translates to excellent anti-crater properties, substrate wetting and improved vertical leveling. Suitable in solvent and water-based systems.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone suitable for solvent-based coatings. High slip performance, enhances build-up appearance. Good for metal coatings, refinish and baking paints. Low inner bubble sensitivity in polyurethane coatings.
  • Modified polyether polysiloxane silicone based slip and leveling agent for solvent and water-based systems. Good anti-cratering in polyurethane.
  • Non-silicone modified polyvinyl polymer. May cause some haziness in clear systems. Widely used in NC and AC lacquer wood finishes especially applied by curtain coater.
  • Non-silicone polymer based defoamer for solvent-based systems. Economy replacement for Afcona 2020.
  • Non-silicone polymer based defoamer for solvent-based systems. Very suitable for pigmented and matte UV coatings, epoxies, polyurethanes and baking paints.
  • Modified polysiloxane silicone-based defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. Good compatibility and clarity in high gloss UV systems, epoxies, polyurethanes, baking paints and other high viscosity systems.
  • Modified polysiloxane silicone-based defoamer and deaerator for solvent-based systems. For unsaturated polyester systems. Better transparency and defoaming than 2720 along with very good surface leveling. Compatible in epoxy resin systems.
  • Modified polysiloxane defoamer and deaerator for water-based systems. Best in polyurethane dispersions. Good defoaming as well as leveling and anti-crater action. Very easy to incorporate, even in low-shear conditions.
  • Modified polysiloxane defoamer for water-based applications. Used as a preparation of pigment concentrates.
  • Silicone based modified polysiloxane defoamer and deaerator. Very good defoaming and compatibility balance. Works well with polyurethane, NC & AC wood coatings and air-drying long oil and medium oil alkyds.
