ESTER ALCOHOL EKVANOL
ESTER ALCOHOL EKVANOL (Chemical Name: 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentanediol Monoisobutyrate) is a new generation, high-performance coalescing (film-forming) agent developed for latex paints, inks, and industrial coatings. It can be easily incorporated into formulations, particularly where film formation is difficult. It significantly enhances paint performance properties such as color development, film formation at low temperatures, scrub resistance, weatherability, viscosity stability, touch-up compatibility, and flexibility. It is a low-toxicity, VOC-free (non-VOC), environmentally friendly, and biodegradable product.
Key Features and Advantages
- Ease of use and incorporation into formulations
- Enhanced scrub and wash resistance
- Effective coalescing (film formation) performance even at low temperatures
- Improved color stability and development
- Very low risk of causing shock (coagulation) in the system
- Low evaporation rate and high boiling point
- Low freezing point
- Superior weather resistance
- Increased surface hardness
- Excellent compatibility with most latex systems
Applications
- Film-forming agent and coalescing aid
- Coating systems (Architectural, Automotive, Industrial, Marine, etc.)
- Printing inks (Lithographic and letterpress oil-based inks)
- Chemical reaction intermediate
- Water-based coating systems
