This is a formulation for an interior flat paint provided by Ashland, a company specializing in industrial specialties. The paint is designed for interior use and is formulated with specific materials to achieve desired properties.
Key components and their functionalities include:
- Natrosol™ Plus 330 (HMHEC): A rheology modifier.
- Sodium Polyphosphate (Calgon N)* and *Sodium Polyacrylate (Dispex AA 4140)**: Dispersing agents.
- *Mineral Oil Emulsion (Drewplus L-1311E)**: Used as a foam control agent.
- *Titanium Dioxide (Tioxide TR-92)**: Pigment for coloration.
- Clay (China Clay Speswhite)* and *Calcinated Clay (Polestar 200P)**: Extenders to improve coverage and texture.
- *Calcium Carbonate (Omyacarb 2 GU)**: Another extender.
- *Talcum (Micro-talc WT1)**: An additional extender.
The formulation includes a "Let Down" section, where additional ingredients are added to adjust the viscosity and other properties of the paint. This section includes more foam control agent, a binder (vinyl acetate ethylene latex), water as a vehicle, and a non-ionic synthetic associative thickener (NSAT) called Aquaflow™ NHS-300E.
The viscosities properties of the paint are also provided, including Brookfield viscosity, Stormer viscosity, ICI viscosity, and spatter resistance, all measured at 25°C.
