AFCONA-3585 Organo-Modified Polysiloxane Leveling Agent | Low Surface Tension | Plastic Substrates | Water-Based Industrial Coatings
AFCONA-3585 Organo-Modified Polysiloxane Leveling Agent | Low Surface Tension | Plastic Substrates | Water-Based Industrial Coatings
Product Description
AFCONA-3585 is an organo-modified polysiloxane substrate wetting and leveling agent for water-based systems. It helps reduce system surface tension, supporting film spreading on low-surface-energy substrates such as plastics. It assists in crater prevention and improved film leveling appearance.
