Ethylan EF-60
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Excellent Freeze/Thaw StabilityGood Pigment WettingLow Odor
Ethylan EF-60 is a VOC-free additive used to promote storage stability, especially at low temperatures. It acts as an anti-freezing agent, dispersant, wetting agent and freeze-thaw (FT) stabilizer in premium-grade waterborne latex paints and adhesive systems. Ethylan EF-60 can be used to replace propylene glycol, PEG and EG in these formulations to meet regulatory requirements without compromising on processability and other latex binder performance. Benefits: Lower-odor, safer formulations Better appearance and finish Compliance with environmental regulations High efficacy FT performance for a wide range of waterborne formulations Features: APEO-free VOC-free Excellent FT stability Maintains open time to impart processability Better pigment wetting and dispersion compared to traditional FT agents

- HIGHLIGHTS
When added to waterborne latex systems, Ethylan EF-60 surfactant-based technology will impart colloidal stabilization to promote storage stability especially at low temperatures.; This allows formulators to eliminate the use of more traditional solvent-based, anti-freeze agents thereby effectively reducing the overall VOC in emulsion paint/adhesive systems to comply with the increasing environmental regulatory requirements.; Ethylan EF-60 can replace industry standard solutions such as Propylene Glycol, PEG and EG without compromising on processability and other latex binder performance.
