- Benefits
- Low-VOC coalescent to help you meet the most stringent VOC regulations.
- Profilm 400 can efficiently decrease MFFT (Minimum Film Formation Temperature).
- Profilm 400 can be used in blends with typical coalescents to lower VOC with no performance compromise.
- Efficient and effective for gloss, block resistance, viscosity, leveling, stain resistance, and water resistance.
