- Unique Capabilities for C.A.S.E. and Industrial Applications
C.A.S.E Industrial Provides coalescing properties to water-based coatings ✔ Low migration in low pH-based architectural coatings ✔ High performance in microemulsion applications; low CMC and effective concentration
✔ Tunable foaming; at high concentrations produces low foam and outperforms ester solvents
✔ Flexible emulsification; both water/oil and oil/water
✔ Capable of sequestering and removing dissolved cations (chelation)
✔ - Product Formulation Performance
- Wetting: Promotes excellent spreading through contact angle reduction and a low CMC.
- Emulsifier: Low HLB and High HLB ingredients allow for matched-pair blending.
- Dispersant: Supports small particle size and micro-nutrient particles.
- Versatile: Hard water, salty water, cold water pH stability for in-tank and in-can use in the field.
- Coalescing Agent: Can be used in low concentrations with no negative impact on coating properties.
- Multifunctional: The ester portion brings solvency and can be blended with the acid version increasing detergency.
- Ester Solvent: Promotes the cleaning of process oils
- Biobased: Potential for removing ethylene-oxide based surfactants from water treatment process.
- Cleansing: Strong solvency and detergency properties for removal of process materials.
- Inverter: High HLB Amphi CH may promote inversion and speed flockin.
- Solubilizer: Can break biofilms, releasing them for treatment faster.
