Total diester content % w/w min. 99
Coasol™ 290 Plus is positioned as a superior replacement to the 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol Diisobutyrate.
Coasol™ 290 Plus has a boiling range of 290°C - 310°C, as against the prevailing Pentanediol Di Isobutyrate Esters (i.e. Optifilm Enhancer 300, NX800) which has a boiling point of of 281.5°C. Coasol™ 290 Plus, is said demonstrate and replace the Pentanediol Diisobutyrate Esters with an efficacy of upto 50% (The benefits of the Coasol™ 290 Plus vary depending on the resin systems used by the Paint Formulator).
Benefits
High Eco-Tox Profile
- Non-VOC, biodegradable and low odour ‘on wall’.
- Coasol™ 290 Plus isn’t toxic and is Non HAPS (Hazardous Air Pollutant).
- No esters of butyric acid so no risk of unpleasant odours when paint applied to alkaline walls.
High Performance & Efficiency
- Can use 20-50% less than the Optifilm Enhancer 300 (depending on the resin system) to achieve a low MFFT.
- Reduced solvent loading to allow incorporation of open time extenders and freeze/thaw protection systems.
- Improved paint rheology and pigment wetting
- Incorporated easily in low shear mixing
- Minimal water solubility improves portioning performance
Enhanced film properties
- Improved open time enhances film formation
- Film integrity and durability improved by drying profile
- Excellent water resistance
- Improved colour development & minimal impact on gloss
- Improved film hardness without cracking
- Improved wet rub performance
- Resistant to hydrolysis so useable on Alkaline surfaces
