- Afcona-6225 is an updated version of Afcona – 6220. It offers better dispersing performance as well as better color acceptance in decorative paints.
- Afcona – 6225 has the following special properties:
- Afcona-6225 works as emulsifier - it can emulsify water into solvent-based coatings. This is especially helpful in long oil alkyds, where it can improve the color acceptance of universal commercial colorants.
- The combination of Afcona-6225 and Afcona-4560 is recommended to formulate universal colorants for decorative and industrial waterbased paints.
- This product is an economic and effective dispersant for waterbased systems.
- Afcona-6225 acts as an activator for Bentonites and associated acrylic thickeners.
Note: Afcona – 6225 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5°C. This will not influence the performance of the product.
