AFCONA – 4050
Chemical Composition Product specification
Modified polyurethane polymer Active ingredients 43 – 47%

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 0.975 – 0.995 g/cm3

AFCONA-4050 is an 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.10
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-4050 was developed for more cost Other inorganic pigments : 2 - 4%
saving purposes without losing too much in Organic pigments : 20 - 40%
pigment stabilizing performance comparing to Carbon blacks : 20 - 60%
AFCONA – 4046.
Incorporation
AFCONA – 4050 has below special properties AFCONA-4050 should be incorporated in the
and recommended in below systems: mill base before adding the pigments.
1) AFCONA – 4050 is used in general industrial
where quality requirements are not so high as Storage
in OEM and Coil Coating. Thus, it mainly is AFCONA-4050 should be stored in a cool dry
used in Polyurethane, Epoxy, NC, and place. When kept in an original unopened
general industrial baking paints. container, it will keep up to 5 years from the
2) Although we have mentioned that this date of manufacture. The expiry date is indicated
product is for cost saving purposes, it on the container.
performs quite close to the high quality
dispersants, such as AFCONA – 4046 and Packaging
AFCONA – 4047. 25 kg and 190 kg non-returnable containers
3) AFCONA – 4050 also can be used as
dispersant in preparation of universal
pigment concentrates. We recommend a
combination with the universal resin,
AFCONA – 1102.

Note: AFCONA – 4050 will become slightly

hazy at temperatures below 5° C. This will not
influence the quality.
