Legislation
LA
• Only Mexico has standards for VOC, but it is not in place.
Brazil
• Standards are under discussion in Brazilian Coatings
Manufacturing Association (ABRAFATI).
» Dow is participating on this discussion.
• It may be aligned with Europe standards.

Coalescents in LA
DALPAD E:
• Glycol ethers blend.
• It is known.
Texanol / Nexcoat / UCAR Filmer IBT
• It is well known / Commodity.
• It works.
ULTRASOLVE P240
• E serie glycol ether (DOWANOL EPh)
• Local producer (Oxiteno)
DALPAD C (DOWANOL TPnB) and COASOL:
New !
• No VOC under Europe guidelines.
• DALPAD C has been sampled for few customers.

Critical Customers Requirements
Good Cost / Benefit balance.
“Read to use”:
• Customers are not willing to make many evaluations
neither changing their formulations to the new coalescent.
• It is difficult to get their formulations to optimize coalescent
using at Dow’s facility.
Low environmental impact:
• no VOC.
• Low odor.
• Renewal source.

Evaluation
Design of Experiments
• Latex: Dow Latex 3433 (SA).
• Concentrations: 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5%.
Coalescents:
• DALPAD E, DALPAD C, DOWANOL DPnB, COASOL and
Texanol.
Tests:
• MFFT, Scrub resistance, Drying time, Brookfield viscosity.
• Neat latex and samples.
• Triplicate analyzes.

Coalescent conc (%)
Coasol: was the most effective coalescent to decrease MFFT, for
1, 2 and 3 %
• MFFT = 4°C: 2% Coasol or 5% DALPAD C
DALPAD E, DOWANOL DPnB and Texanol had intermediate
performance.
DALPAD C was not good.

All coalescents were until 2 and 3%.
By adding 5% of COASOL and Texanol visco increased too much
(comparing to the sample without coalescent.
• It is no exactly a problem because customers will not add 5% of

Results summary
MFFT
• Coasol had good performance and the best, comparing to
other studied coalescents.
Scrub resistance
• Coasol and Texanol were the best options.
Drying time
• Any coalescent point out.
Brookfield viscosity
• Any coalescent point out.
» Except for highest studied concentrations (5%).

Next steps
Validate these results with other emulsions systems.
Evaluation blends of COASOL with other coalescents
(DOWANOL PPh, DOWANOL DPnB, DOWANOL TPnB,
etc.) in order to look for better cost / benefit balance.
Evaluate commercial and logistics aspects
• Cost / Price for LA.
• Availability.
• Etc.
