- Product Features
- Afcona-5515 is a dispersing additive for a wide range of water-based coatings. The product is especially suited for the dispersion of inorganic pigments.
- Compared with inorganic dispersing agents, e.g. polyphosphate products, the organic polymer- based Afcona-5515 provides improved storage stability of both the pigment dispersion and the formulated paint. There is little or no adverse reaction to high temperatures or pH changes.
- Afcona-5515 can be used as supplied.
Applications & Uses
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Cure Method
- Addition and Dosage
Calculation method for the required amount of active ingredient on pigment:
TiO2 1 - 2% Other inorganic pigments 2 - 8% Fillers 0.4 – 0.8% In common with other dispersing agents, because of variation in the dispersant demand of pigments and fillers, these dosage recommendations need to be verified through testing.
- Incorporation
Afcona-5515 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding the pigments and fillers.
