        • Incorporated easily in low shear mixing
        • Minimal water solubility improves portioning performance.
        • Enhanced film properties
          • Improved open time enhances film formation.
          • Film integrity and durability improved by drying profile.
          • Excellent water resistance.
          • Improved colour development & minimal impact on gloss.
          • Improved film hardness without cracking.

Applications

Coasol® 290 Plus is a very high performance coalescing system which gives the formulator flexibility to achieve low VOC targets whilst improving paint performance in a number of areas.

Coasol® 290 Plus finds an application in industrial cleaners where its eco-profile distinguishes it from other technologies. It is used in hard surface cleaners, as a component in printing paint cleaners, for removal of floor wax. Certain Graffiti removal formulations use its high degree of solvency. It is also used in nail polish removing formulations.

Coasol® 290 Plus is used with unsaturated polyester resins or epoxy resin systems, and can be used as a low tail solvent in coil coatings, or to reduce VOC in high solid formulations.

Coasol® 290 Plus has been used in a number of oil-field applications including low temperature fluids, wax dispersion and degreasers.
