Coalesing Agent

CIANOL 12, coalescing agent for latex paints, provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels of coalescent. CIANOL 12 suitable for all types of latex paints and maintains good performance regardless of weather conditions. Non-VOC coalescing agent for emulsion paints plasters as well as for all water base applications.

CIANOL 12, enhancing the performance properties of the paint including low temperature coalescence, touch-up, scrub resistance, washability, color development, thermal flexibility, and resistance to mud cracking. CIANOL 12 alcohol ester also enhances thickening efficiency when used with associative thickeners.

CIANOL 12 alcohol ester also works well in a variety of other applications. It is an ideal choice as a retarder solvent for use in coil coatings and high-bake enamels. CIANOL 12 alcohol ester offers a good balance of performance properties for ink applications requiring good open time.

Cianol 12 can be effectively used in vinyl acetate homopolymers and copolymers and terpolymers latex, and acrylic, styrene and viny poly d, vinyl acetate latex.
