- Product Applications
Due to these excellent properties Afcona – 3251 is very suitable for use in:
- All wood coating systems like NC, acid curing, PU and UV.
- Topcoats in plastic coating applications such as mobile phones and other plastic items that are frequently touched by our hands.
- UV coatings, where it offers very good slip and leveling without influencing the clarity of the paint film.
- Refinish topcoats based on polyurethane.
- Air dry alkyds; the dosage in this system is very low, 0.02 – 0.05% on total formulation.
- Others paint systems where high slip is desired.
Note: Afcona – 3251 will become slightly hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not influence the performance of the product.
- Addition and Dosage
Afcona-3251 may be added at 0.02 – 0.50% based on total formulation. Under normal conditions, 0.10 – 0.30% based on total formulation is sufficient.
- Incorporation
Afcona-3251 may be added at any stage during the production process.
