Rhodia is sharing its new eco-friendly evaluation approach to designing sustainable coatings by spotlighting its growing line of zero-VOC, APE-free performance additives and solvents for waterborne coatings at Stand 9-218.

 
• Rhodoline® OTE is a zero-VOC, APE-free line of additives for extended open time in waterborne coating formulations. It provides a two- to four-fold increase in open time without the addition of solvents. Increasing open time gives painters more time to work overlays seamlessly or touch up paint to correct imperfections such as drips and brush marks.

 
• Rhodoline WA range of wetting agents provides fast wetting properties and low foaming benefits. Rhodoline WA range completes the existing Antarox® range, giving more formulation flexibility and better foam control.

 
• Rhodiasolv® Iris and Rhodiasolv STRIP are a new generation of safe and eco-friendly solvent solutions for various applications such as paint stripping, removal of graffiti, cleaning of resins and industrial degreasing. These non-VOC, biodegradable solvent solutions enable formulators to combine the required health, safety and environment profile without compromising performance.
