Coalescing agent

APPLICATIONS

Use the product as a coalescing aid in Latex paint formulations.
This product lowers the minimum film formation temperature (MFFT).
The product softens the emulsion polymer particles, allowing them to fuse together to a proper film at lower temperatures than is otherwise possible.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS

- The level of addition is easily adapted to a wide range of emulsion polymers and paint applications.

• Use more product with harder emulsion polymers to achieve the same MFFT as with softer ones
• Use more product to achieve the lower MFFT needed in demanding outdoor applications

- Very low solubility in water

• The product stays with the binder even when formulation is used on water absorbing surfaces
• The product does not affect emulsion stability

- Excellent hydrolytic stability

• Can be used in a wide variety of Latex emulsions, including those with high pH

- Very low freezing point

• No special handling procedures needed in wintertime
