In the world of coatings, film-forming aids are indispensable key roles. They are like heroes behind the scenes, silently helping coatings to form high-quality paint films. The film-forming aids such as DIBA, octyl benzoate, alcohol ester 16, and alcohol ester 12 launched by Foshan Jinjia New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. shine in different application scenarios with their excellent performance.
Let’s talk about DIBA first, which is diisobutyl acetic acid. In water-based architectural coatings, DIBA can effectively reduce the minimum film-forming temperature of polymer emulsions. Under low temperature conditions, ordinary emulsions may find it difficult to form a continuous and uniform paint film, but the addition of DIBA can make the emulsion particles better merge, thereby forming a dense and smooth coating on the base layer such as the wall, enhancing the scrub resistance and durability of the coating. At the same time, DIBA also performs well in industrial coatings. It helps to improve the leveling of the coating, make the coating surface smoother, reduce defects such as orange peel and shrinkage, and improve the appearance quality and protective performance of the coating.
As a unique film-forming agent, octyl benzoate has attracted much attention in the field of high-end coatings. In terms of automotive coatings, it can be well compatible with resins and improve the flexibility and impact resistance of coatings. Cars are subject to various external forces during driving. Coatings containing octyl benzoate can make the paint film better resist scratches and collisions and maintain the beauty of the car body. In addition, in wood coatings, octyl benzoate can enhance the gloss and fullness of the paint film, giving the wood surface a gorgeous texture, while also improving the adhesion of the paint film to the wood, effectively protecting the wood from erosion by the external environment.
A rising star among alcohol esters and film-forming agents, it has good hydrolysis stability and low volatility. In building exterior wall coatings, alcohol esters can enable the coating to form high-quality paint films under different climatic conditions. Whether it is hot summer or cold winter, it can ensure the smooth film formation of emulsion particles, and improve the weather resistance of the paint film, resist the long-term erosion of natural factors such as ultraviolet rays and rain, and extend the service life of exterior wall coatings. Moreover, alcohol ester 16 also plays an important role in water-based industrial anticorrosive coatings. It helps to enhance the shielding properties of the paint film, prevent the penetration of corrosive media, and provide reliable protection for metal and other substrates.
Alcohol ester 12 is a classic and widely used film-forming agent. In latex paint, it is a common ingredient in the formula. Alcohol ester 12 can enable latex paint to form a continuous paint film at a lower temperature, greatly expanding the construction temperature range of latex paint. At the same time, it can also improve the rheology of latex paint, making the paint smoother during construction and reducing sagging. In printing inks, alcohol ester 12 can improve the drying speed and adhesion of inks, making printed patterns clearer and firmer.
Foshan Jinjia New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has provided the market with a series of high-quality products such as DIBA, octyl benzoate, alcohol ester 16, and alcohol ester 12, relying on in-depth research on film-forming agents and innovative production processes. These film-forming agents play a key role in products such as coatings and inks in different industries, providing strong support for improving product performance and quality.
