Product Overview

Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 400 is a low odor coalescent that is compatible with a variety of latex types. It is an efficient coalescent that aids in the development of latex paints that have a good balance of performance properties. Optifilm 400 delivers excellent film integrity, touch-up properties, and scrub resistance, even at the lowest VOC demands. Paints prepared with Optifilm 400 have also demonstrated good exterior durability after one year exposure. COALESCENT It can also be blended with other coalescents such as Eastman Texanol™ ester alcohol or Eastman EEH glycol ether to further optimize the balance of low VOC content and paint performance.ApplicationsAdhesives/sealants-B&CArchitectural coatingsAutomotiveExterior architectural coatingsGeneral industrial coatingsInterior flat architectural coatingsInterior non-flat architectural coatingsMarinePaints & coatingsProcess solventsProtective coatingsWood coatingsKey attributesEnables hypoallergenic paintExtremely low odorGood coalescing efficiencyInsignificant VOC contribution to paintNon-HAP (Hazardous Air Pollutant), and Non-SARANon-yellowingREACH compliantReadily biodegradableStable in low to high pH coatingsZero contribution to VOC emission from dried paintResourcesAre You Puzzled by the Changes to the New Ecolabel Criteria?
