LOW VOC ADDITIVES FOR EXTENDING THE WET EDGE AND OPEN TIME OF AQUEOUS COATINGS

摘要

Disclosed is a low VOC coating additive employing a water-dispersible polymer,a water insoluble plasticizer, cy-clohexanedimethanol,and optionally an amphiphilic component. The additive can be added to acoating to improve at least oneperformance characteristics of the coating, such as, wet-edge time, open time,scrub resistance, wet adhesion, and water resistance.
