Troysol LAC - Quartz Presentations Online

We Will Present• The need for wetting additives in lowVOC aqueous coatings• Description of Wetting additives andwetting products evaluated• Coating properties evaluated and testmethods used• Results of study• DiscussionCONFIDENTIAL - Property of Troy Corporation

The Need For Wetting Additives in LowVOC Aqueous CoatingsThe general trend World Wide to reduce the use ofsolvents in coatings Promotion of water instead of solvent coatings Low odor and improved indoor air qualityThe trend in construction & industry to low energysubstrates Composites Plastics Contaminated surfaces (not a trend but a reality)Environmental Regulations are coming Lower or Zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) Alkylphenol Exthoxylate (APE or APEO) FreeCONFIDENTIAL - Property of Troy Corporation

What is a Wetting Additive?Surface active additive that migrates to coatingsurfaces Surface coating applied to – Substrate wetting Coating surface – Flow and levelingSurface tension reducing additive Allows wetting of low energy surfaces Allows flow and leveling for smooth finishControls surface tension during drying Promotes color uniformityCONFIDENTIAL - Property of Troy Corporation

Color UniformityTest MethodTested according to Troy TA-9 TestMethodologyA film is applied with a three mil BirdFilm Applicator.The film is rubbed in a circularmotion with the index finger.Color differences between rub-uparea (where additional shear hasbeen applied) and non-rubbed filmare measured using an X-RiteColorimeter with the CIELAB scale.∆E values, which represent the totalcolor change, are reported.CONFIDENTIAL - Property of Troy Corporation
