Low-Viscosity Film-Forming Agent TXIB for Architectural Coatings | Eastman Equivalent
Low-Viscosity Film-Forming Agent TXIB for Architectural Coatings
Product Summary: This film-forming agent TXIB (2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate) is a low-viscosity coalescing agent (9 cP at 25°C) designed to improve the performance of architectural coatings. It enhances weather resistance, stain resistance, low-temperature construction performance, and edge effects in interior and exterior wall latex paints, wood coatings, waterproof coatings, and textured coatings.
✓ Enhanced Film Properties: Improves weather resistance, stain resistance, and transparency of films, leading to longer-lasting and better-looking coatings.
✓ Low-Temperature Performance: With a freezing point of -70°C, enables coating application in cold conditions, preventing film cracking.
✓ Low Odor: Provides low-odor solutions, ideal for indoor applications where odor is a concern.
✓ Improved Workability: Enhances the workability and three-dimensional effect of textured coatings.
