Calculation method for the required amount of active ingredient on pigment:
- TiO2 : 2 - 3%
- Other inorganic pigments : 2 - 4%
- Organic pigments : 20 - 40%
- Carbon blacks : 20 - 60%
- Incorporation
AFCONA-4560 should be incorporated in the mill base before adding the pigments.

AFCONA-4560 is a polymeric dispersant for stabilizing inorganic and organic pigments in water-based systems. It has very good stability performance, through effective steric hindrance and electric repulsion, on all type of pigments.
This results in:- Better gloss
- Color strength
- Flocculation stability
- Anti-flooding behavior.
AFCONA-4560 is pH-independent and has a wide compatibility in most commonly used in industrial coatings. AFCONA-4560 does not influence the water resistance. AFCONA-4560 is complete water-soluble and does not necessary has to be neutralized. However, neutralization will improve the viscosity reduction performance. AFCONA-4560 will lose the water dissolving power above 60°C. Therefore, in order to ensure high efficiency, keep milling temperature below 60°C. However, once the temperature is cooled down, the water dissolving power will come back. AFCONA-4560 is recommended for manufacturing of resin free pigment concentrates for decorative as well as for industrial paints. It also can be combined with AFCONA –6225 for better cost saving without compromising any dispersion quality. Please refer to the application section for guide formulations.
