In architectural coatings Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 300 is an efficient, low odor, low toxicity coalescent for latex paints. Its broad compatibility, easy incorporation, and excellent hydrolytic stability allow its use in a wide range of latex types. Appropriate for many architectural applications, it is particularly suited for low odor flat and low sheen wall paints. The low odor performance of Eastman Optifilm™ 300 enhancer was evaluated in statistically designed experiments. The technical tip titled Reduce Dispersion Paint Odour Using Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 300 below outlines the procedure used and the evaluation results.
COALESCENT The use of Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 300 reduces formulated cost by allowing substantial reductions in associative thickeners. Greater than 25% reduction in associative thickener levels can be obtained without compromising rheology characteristicsFor industrial bake coatings, Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 300 is an excellent retarder solvent, and is compatible with a variety of resin systems, making it useful over a wide range of application conditions and substrates. It compared favorably in tests versus a widely used retarder solvent in a polyester coil coating application.With a boiling point of 281°C, (vapor pressure 0.0007 kPa @ 20°C), Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 300 is not classified as a VOC according to European Union Decopaint Directive 2004/42/EC (commonly referred to as the Decopaint Directive); European Union Solvent Emissions Directive; and the China State Environmental Protection Agency.ApplicationsAdhesives/sealants-B&CArchitectural coatingsAuto OEMAuto refinishCoil coatingsCommerical printing inksExterior architectural coatingsGeneral industrial coatingsGraphic artsInterior flat architectural coatingsInterior non-flat architectural coatingsMarinePaints & coatingsProtective coatingsWood coatingsKey attributesExcellent associative thickener efficiencyExcellent wet and dry film propertiesGood solubility and compatibility with wide range of coatings systemsImproves film formation over a wide range of temperature and relative humidity conditionsLVP-VOCLow odorNon-HAPNon-SARANot classified as a VOC per China State Environmental Protection AgencyNot classified as a VOC per European Union Directive 2004/42/ECNot classified as a VOC per European Union Solvent Emissions DirectiveREACH compliantReadily biodegradableResourcesAgents de coalescence EASTMAN : conformité aux normes d’émissions de la réglementation française “Grenelle de l’environnement” (European Edition)Coatings Innovation StoriesEASTMAN OPTIFILM enhancer 300: A low-odor, non-VOC coalescent for latex paintEASTMAN OPTIFILM enhancer 300: Coalescentes de bajo olor, que es no VOC para pinturas de látexEASTMAN OPTIFILM enhancer 300: Um coalescente para tintas látex, de baixo odor e zero VOCEASTMAN OPTIFILM enhancer 300: reduce emulsion wall paint odor Eastman Chemical Eastman Chemical Additives and Modifiers,Film Forming/Coalescing Agents Paints coatings and inks,Adhesives and sealants
