White gloss topcoat. Pure acrylic polymer dispersion - interior & exterior white paint.

This formulation is for a white gloss topcoat provided by Ashland. It utilizes Aquaflow™ NLS-220E and Aquaflow™ NHS-300E as nonionic synthetic associative thickeners (NSAT) along with Drewplus™ S-4386 and Drew™ 210-886 as foam control agents (FCA). The primary binder used is Primal HG-98, a pure acrylic polymer dispersion suitable for interior and exterior white paint applications.

Components:

• Aquaflow™ NLS-220E and Aquaflow™ NHS-300E: Nonionic synthetic associative thickeners (NSAT).
• Primal HG-98 (Pure Acrylic Polymer Dispersion): Primary binder for the let-down portion.
• Drewplus™ S-4386 and Drew™ 210-886: Foam control agents (FCA).
• Dispex CX 4240 (Ammonium Polyacrylate): Wetting/Dispersing agent.
• Nuosept BM11 (Biocide): In-can preservative.
• Kronos 2190 (Titanium Dioxide): Pigment.
• Texanol (Ester Alcohol): Coalescing agent.
• Water: Vehicle.

Viscosity Properties:

• Brookfield Viscosity: 6700 mPa·s
• Stormer Viscosity: 120 KU
• ICI Viscosity: 165 mPa·s

Applied Properties:

• Leveling (Brush): 8 (1-10; 10=Best)
• Leveling (NYPC): 5 (1-10; 10=Best)
• Sag Resistance: 300 microns
• Gloss (60°): 85 GU

Calculated Data:

• PVC: 12.0%
• Solids (mass): 44%
