Product general description Solvents Butylacetate / Methoxy

High molecular weight polymeric dispersant for Propyl Acetate/ Sec-
deflocculation of all type of pigments butanol

Product Properties Density at 20 °C 0.96 – 0.99 g/cm3

AFCONA-4046 is a very effective polymeric
dispersant for stabilizing inorganic and organic Amine value 10 - 25 mg KOH/g
pigments as well as carbon blacks. It has very
good stability performance, through effective Flashpoint 24°C
steric hindrance, on all type of pigments.
Colour max.3
This results in:
- improved gloss and DOI Addition and dosage
- reduced flooding problems Calculation method for the required amount of
- higher colour strength active ingredient on pigment:
- lower viscosity
TiO2 : 2 - 3%
AFCONA – 4046 has below special properties Other inorganic pigments : 2 - 4%
and recommended in below systems: Organic pigments : 20 - 40%
1) AFCONA – 4046 is compatible with almost Carbon blacks : 20 - 60%
all solvent-based resins
2) AFCONA – 4046 mainly is used in Incorporation
industrial paints such as baking paints, AFCONA-4046 should be incorporated in the
epoxies, UPE’s, polyurethanes and other mill base before adding the pigments.
resin systems that need very good pigment
stability. Storage
3) AFCONA – 4046 is also widely used as AFCONA-4046 should be stored in a cool dry
dispersant in preparation of universal place. When kept in an original unopened
pigment concentrates. For these we container, it will keep up to 5 years from the

universal resin, AFCONA – 1102. on the container.
AFCONA – 1102 gives better pigment
wetting and compatibility than any other Packaging
universal resin available in the market. 25 kg and 190 kg non-returnable containers
Note: AFCONA – 4046 will become slightly
hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not
influence the quality.
