In water-based architectural paint formulations, coalescents play a key role in the latex film formation process. These molecules mainly act in the final stage of particle coalescence.
The coalescent ensures a continuous and homogeneous formation of film in various conditions of temperature and humidity. The result is a superior finish and higher resistance to water and less likelihood of leaching and dirt pick-up.
ULTRAFILM® 260 LV combines performance and unique cost-efficiency. With a boiling point higher than 250°C, it has features such as low odor and low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) and high efficiency to create paints that meet the industry’s quality performance requirement program.
It has high plasticizing power of acrylic and vinyl polymers, effectively reducing MFFT (minimum film forming temperature) and creating paints with high resistance to scrub resistance.
