Vinyl acetate ethylene interior flat paint - PVC 70% - Mowilith* LDM 1871

This formulation, provided by Ashland, details an interior flat paint. Here's the breakdown:

Components:

• Natrosol™ 250 HHBR (HEC): This hydroxyethylcellulose acts as a rheology modifier, influencing the texture and consistency of the paint.
• Sodium Polyphosphate (Calgon N) and Ammonium Polyacrylate (Dispex CX 4240): These are dispersing agents, ensuring uniform distribution of solid particles in the paint.
• Foam Control Agent (Drewplus™ L-1311E): Included to minimize foam formation during manufacturing and application.
• Titanium Dioxide (Tioxide TR-92): Provides white pigment for opacity and color.
• Clay (China Clay Speswhite) and Calcinated Clay (Polestar 200P): These clays act as extenders, improving coverage and durability.
• Calcium Carbonate (Omyacarb 2 GU): Another extender to enhance opacity and bulk.
• Talcum (Micro-talc WT1): Provides additional extender properties.

Let Down:

• Foam Control Agent (Drewplus™ L-1311E): Used again for foam control during the letdown phase.
• Biocide (Nuosept BIC): Preservative to prevent microbial growth in the paint.
• Water: Serves as a solvent and vehicle for the paint.
• Vinyl Acetate Ethylene Latex (Mowilith LDM 1871): This is the binder, holding the paint components together and providing adhesion to surfaces.

Viscosity Properties:

• Brookfield Viscosity: 8000 mPa·s (measured using the Brookfield viscometer)
• Stormer Viscosity: 100 KU (measured using the Stormer viscometer)
• ICI Viscosity: 80 mPa·s (measured using the ICI cone and plate viscometer)
• Spatter Resistance: 1 (on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is the best resistance to spattering)

These properties indicate the consistency, texture, and performance characteristics of the paint.
