In architectural coatings 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 Optifilm 300 was evaluated in statistically designed experiments. The technical Tip titled Reduce Dispersion Paint Odour Using Optifilm Enhancer 300 below outlines the procedure used and the evaluation results. The use of 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 characteristics. For more details see the technical tip, Lower Coatings With Texanol Ester Alcohol or Optifilm Enhancer 300 below. For industrial bake coatings, 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. The results of this evaluation are discussed in the online technical tip entitled Eastman Retarder Solvent & Optifilm Enhancer 300 for Industrial Bake Coatings. With a boiling point of 281°C, (vapor pressure 0.0007 kPa @ 20¡ÆC), 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; China State Environmental Protection Agency; and the Australian Paint Approval Scheme D181. Due to its low toxicity and non-VOC status, Optifilm 300 has been awarded Green Label Type II certificate in China. Optifilm Enhancer 300 is part of the Eastman Coatings Film Technologies portfolio for architectural coatings and is one of the Retarder Solvents offered by Eastman. |
