Case studies show that the selection of an appropriate coalescent for applications in latex paints must be supported by appropriate, extensive laboratory tests.
New technologies developed by Oxiteno enable the formulation of low- and zero-VOC exterior paints with higher dirt pick-up resistance, improved film formation, and reduced surfactant leaching from paints.
ULTRAFILM® 5000 allows the formulation of paints with reduced VOC without compromising dirt pick-up resistance while increasing water resistance and reducing pigment leaching.
Oxiteno's technology enables the development of low-VOC outdoor paints with higher dirt pick-up resistance, improved latex film formation and reduced surfactant leaching from paints.
Suitable for all major latexes used in architectural paint formulations, ULTRAFILM 5000 ensures continuous and homogeneous paint film formation under various temperature and humidity conditions.
Architectural low-VOC coatings can be formulated with dibenzoate glycol esters to have increased hardness, block resistance, gloss and scrub resistance.
