Low VOC universal high performance colorant

摘要

A low VOC universal colorant composition for both solvent-based and water-based paints and coatings is provided. The composition includes a colorant component, a universal surfactant package; and a carrier. The colorant composition shows excellent stability with respect to viscosity, pH, and Hegman grind over time. The colorant composition is used to tint a base paint formulation which, after tinting, shows a desirable rheological profile and optimal block and tack resistance relative to base paints tinted using standard colorant lines.
