By definition, a non-VOC remains in the dried film where OXFILM 351 acts as a permanent plasticizer yielding a slightly softer film. To compensate, a slightly harder, higher Tg, resin is required to obtain the desired final film hardness. OXFILM 351 is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for traditional ester alcohol or glycol ether coalescents. It is intended for next generation low odor, low VOC coatings. Use of a slightly harder polymer is recommended to compensate for its permanence and plasticizing effect in the dried film. Low odor, extremely low 28 day emission results are achievable with OXFILM 351 when properly formulated. voir moins | |
