Performance Introduction
LXBG-PPH is a colorless, transparent liquid with a pleasant sweet fragrance. Its nontoxic and eco-friendly nature significantly reduces VOC in coatings.
As an efficient film-forming additive for water-based latex and dispersions, it’s particularly effective in gloss and semigloss paints.
Acting as a strong solvent for polymers like vinyl acetate, acrylic, and styrene-acrylic, LXBG-PPH has low water solubility. This allows it to be fully
absorbed by latex particles, creating a continuous film. This enhances the latex paint’s coalescence and color development while ensuring good storage
stability. Compared to common film-forming additives like TEXANOL (or domestic alcohol ester-12), LXBG-PPH achieves the same film properties with
30-50% less usage. Its strong coalescing ability doubles film-forming efficiency, significantly reducing production costs. Added at 3.5-5% of the
emulsion, it can lower the minimum film-forming temperature (MFT) to -1℃.
After optimization, LXBG-PPH (E) and (T) can be directly added at any paint-making stage, simplifying the process and improving stability in systems
like pure acrylic emulsions. It’s recommended to add LXBG-PPH before the emulsion or during pigment grinding for better compatibility and stability.
Generally, for pure acrylic emulsions, the addition amount is 3.5-6%; for vinyl-acrylic emulsions, 2.5-4.5%; and for styrene-acrylic systems, 2-4%.
Suggested Addition Amount
● For pure acrylic emulsion: The addition amount is 3.5-6%.
● For vinegar-acrylic emulsion: The addition amount is 2.5-4.5%.
● For phenylpropylene: The addition amount is 2-4%
