APEO-Free Pigment Grind Surfactant aids pigment dispersion.

Suited for low-VOC paint and coating formulations, ECOSURF(TM) LF Surfactants are initially soluble and offer optimal wetting with low foam during pigment addition. As temperatures rise above cloud points, these biodegradable products become insoluble, stop creation of additional foam, and help reduce existing foam. When paint batch finishes and temperatures decrease, surfactants return to...

Decorative Coating Additives provide water resistance.

Dow CorningÃ-® 87 and 88 create hydrophobic silicone network in paint that repels water but is permeable to water vapor coming from substrate. Consisting of silicone resin emulsion for waterborne paints, Dow CorningÃ-® 87 encourages water beading. When water reduction is primary requirement, Dow CorningÃ-® 88, consisting of silane/siloxane blend, can be used in acrylic emulsion paints...
