VERSENE™ 100 Chelating Agent
Applications: Processing & Packaging, Oil, Gas & Mining, Paper & Pulp
Product Families: Functional Additives, Builders & Chelators, Adjuvants & Formulation Ingredients
End Uses: Cleaners, Descalers, Textiles
VERSENE™ 100 Chelating Agent is an aqueous solution of the tetrasodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Na4EDTA is the strongest, most versatile, and widely used chelant for controlling metal ions over a broad pH range in aqueous systems. It will not chelate monovalent metal ions such as sodium or potassium, but will chelate most multivalent metal ions (e.g., Fe, Cu, Mn, Ca, Mg, Zn) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The chelation reaction is virtually instantaneous in most cases. Calcium and other alkaline earth metals are most effectively chelated above pH 4. Na4EDTA chelates most transition metals below pH 12. VERSENE 100 is completely miscible with water, but is not soluble in organic systems. Na4EDTA is stable under widely varying conditions of temperature, acidity, alkalinity, and the presence of other chemicals. Na4EDTA is attached, however, by strong oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite bleach. In some applications, Na4EDTA can be reclaimed for reuse.

DOWANOL™ DPnB Glycol Ether
Applications: Coatings & Finishes, Building Envelope, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing
Product Families: Additives, Solvents & Carriers, Functional Additives
Chemical Family: Diols, Glycols, Ethers
End Uses: Solventborne Coating, Waterborne Coating, Cleaners
DOWANOL™ DPnB glycol ether is a slow-evaporating, hydrophobic glycol ether with excellent surface tension-lowering ability and coalescing properties. DOWANOL™ DPnB is a relatively slow-evaporating solvent which is one of our most efficient coalescents in water-borne latex systems. DOWANOL™ DPnB glycol ether combines a number of properties that contribute to very high latex film quality: 1) high polymer plasticizing efficiency, 2) large molecular size and therefore greater polymer mobility contribution, 3) strong partitioning to the polymer phase, and 4) relatively slow evaporation rate. This product is compatible with many different resin types. DOWANOL™ DPnB glycol ether also provides excellent surface tension lowering ability, and is useful in cleaning products by itself or when blended with other products such as DOWANOL™ DPM glycol ether. Used alone in cold metal cleaning, DOWANOL™ DPnB glycol ether is a good solvent for removing oils and greases.

DOWANOL™ PMA Glycol Ether Acetate
Applications: Coatings & Finishes, Devices & Assemblies, Parts & Components
Product Families: Solvents & Carriers, Esters & Ethers, Solvents
Chemical Family: Acetates, Esters, Glycols
End Uses: Coil Coating, Powder Coating, Solventborne Coating
DOWANOL™ PMA glycol ether has the lowest viscosity of the entire line of DOWANOL™ glycol ethers (1.1 centipoise at 25oC), and it provides superb viscosity reduction. The remaining OH group in the glycol ether molecule is capped with an acetate group, which reduces its polarity and reduces the solvent’s viscosity. The acetate group also eliminates the reactive hydrogen from the OH group found in other glycol ethers; thus, DOWANOL™ PMA glycol ether is an excellent solvent choice for urethanes and other proton-sensitive systems. DOWANOL™ PMA glycol ether is a relatively fast-evaporating glycol ether, and it sets a performance standard in high-solids, solvent-borne systems. It provides excellent active solvency for a very wide range of resin types, including acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, polyesters and many other.

Dow North America Monoethanolamine (MEA)
INCI Name: Ethanolamine
Applications: Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing, Textiles & Nonwovens, Fluids & Lubricants
Product Families: Additives, Functional Additives, Performance Additives
Chemical Family: Alcohols, Amines
End Uses: Metalworking Fluids, Cleaners, Detergents
DOW Monoethanolamine (MEA) offers abroad spectrum of application opportunities, primarily in detergents, textile finishing and wood treating. Other applications include use as “down hole” in oil well chemicals and in metal working to prevent corrosion, and as catalysts that promote stability during the reaction process in the manufacture of flexible and rigid urethane foams. Because MEA combines the properties of amines and alcohols, MEA exhibits the unique capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups. As an amine, MEA is mildly alkaline and react with acids to form salts or soaps. As an alcohol, MEA is hygroscopic and can be esterfied. Features & Benefits Detergents MEA imparts a reserve alkalinity to the laundry bath, which is essential to efficient cleaning. MEA is an effective oil and anti-redeposition agent. Textile Finishing MEA is used as reaction intermediates for the preparation of durable press fabric finishes and softeners. When reacted to form amine soaps, useful as scouring agents for wool and silk because of its low alkalinity. Because it is hygroscopic, MEA is used in the preparation of vat printing pastes. Wood Treating MEA is used in both alkaline copper quaternary(ACQ) and copper azole formulations for treating wood to improve its resistance to pests and decay. Both are arsenic-free alternatives to the phased- out CCA formulations.
