Recommendations for water-based architectural coatings

A comprehensive portfolio of additives for low-VOC coatingsPerformance-driven solutions

Additives combined with technical service and support for the paint and coatings industry.

BASF is focused on providing innovative technology to create convenient, ecologically-safe and performance-driven solutions for water-based coatings. We offer global presence, consistent quality, innovative technology, and global state-of-the-art manufacturing and supply-chain operations. Based on our extensive knowledge of the industry, we help our customers develop innovative concepts for marketing, technology and sales, aligned with the current market trends:

• Durability: superior appearance, enhanced performance

• Workability: convenience and ease of handling

• Sustainability: social and economic factors

• Environmental care: low-odor and essentially VOC-free (volatile organic compound) systems.

End-user convenience is increasingly becoming a part of market and formulation demand for successful water-based coatings in the Do-it-yourself (DIY) and professional painter market. Low to zero VOC and extended durability are no longer a luxury, but a market driver. Formulators of water-based coatings are constantly on the hunt for additional technical experience and expertise in the application of colors and paints.

As a result, the products themselves need to be more “intelligent” to offer the missing application properties for water-based interior and exterior coatings. In addition, the demand for high quality and environment-friendly coatings is on the rise. To fulfill the new portfolio of requirements, “smart” ingredients are necessary. These types of development efforts are emphasized in BASF’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

With our recent acquisition of Cognis, BASF has strengthened its ability to serve your additive needs-defoamers, rheology modifiers, dispersants, wetting agents and coalescents. Keeping in line with the current market trends and building on our market understanding and vast technical experience, BASF

has a broad range of additives for aqueous systems to improve the manufacturing and application processes as well as the properties of the overall coating system.

Our technology meets current and future market needs of a strict global regulatory environment and offers you formulation flexibility over a wide range of coating systems. Our goal: Give our customers the competitive edge in today’s constantly changing coatings markets!

Our extensive portfolio of key performance enhancing formulation additives combined with our cross-technology architectural paint formulation expertise can enable you to meet your performance and market needs:

• Lowodor • Highgloss

• EssentiallyVOCfree • Freeze/thawstability

• Excellentdryfilmproperties • Formulatedcostsavings

With a full portfolio of pigments, latex, resins and performance additives, BASF offers virtually every ingredient that goes into paint.

Dispersing AgentsHydropalat® 44, Hydropalat 100, Hydropalat 216, Hydropalat 3204

One of the most important steps in the manufacture of paints and plasters is the dispersing process. During this process the pigments and fillers need to be completely wetted and stabilized against re-agglomeration. Dispersing agents accelerate the

grinding process, prevent pigments from flocculation and also prevent a viscosity increase in the finished paint. In aqueous latex paints and plasters the mechanism of electrostatic repulsion stabilizes the pigments from re-agglomeration.

Wetting AgentsHydropalat 875 & 1080, Starfactant® 20 & 30

Wetting agents are needed in a latex paint if separation occurs or viscosity is too high or the color acceptance of pigment paste in the paint is not good enough. These effects are caused by the re-wetting of the surfactants in the paste, or the emulsifiers in the latex, on the pigment or filler surface. To solve these problems, it is often useful to try products which are part of the pigment paste or the latex. Due to ecological concerns, modern paints

don’t include alkyl-phenol-ethoxylates. For these modern formulationsBASFoffersalternativeproductslikeHydropalat1080,Hydropalat875andothersprovidingthesameexcellentperformance as APEs. Starfactant products are a new class of wetting agents that improve film appearance and provide wetting on non-porous surfaces while improving defoaming.

Defoamers Foamaster®, FoamStar® and Dehydran® Series

Defoamers should:

• workagainstmacrofoamandmicrofoamwithoutcausingfisheyes or craters, and,

• beeasytoincorporatewithouthighshearmixingandnotinfluence the gloss.

Inlow/no-vocpaints,macrofoammayremainfromthedispersing process, the can filling process, or due to effects of mixing before application. Micro- or macro foam during application are problems which usually appear when waterborne systems are applied. The foam is stabilized as a side effect of surface active ingredients which are commonly used in water-based coatings.

Foam troubles can be overcome by the proper selection of defoamers. We use ease of dispersibility of the defoamers as a guide for their selection. In general, easier to disperse defoamers offer better compatibility and are more useful for post-add applications. Non-dispersible products offer better long-term persistency but are best incorporated during grinding. The FoamStar series of products can be added at any stage of paint production.


Besides the proven mineral oil and silicone based defoamers, BASF is developing new active defoamer technologies. The base for new defoamers are native oils, synthetic oils, special low odor oils for different applications. The following paragraphs show the profiles and the applications for the different defoamer classes. Allproductsare100%activeexceptforpowderdefoamers.

Rheology Modifiers DSX® Series

For many years rheology modifiers for latex paints were mainly based on cellulose-ethers which are known for the negative effect on spattering. To formulate paints with better performance during application, non-ionic polyurethane thickeners have gained importance. A combination of newtonian and pseudoplastic associative rheology modifiers or their combination with cellulosics provide the following advantages:

• Reductionofspattering

• Improvedflowcharacteristics

• HighICI-viscosity(improveshidingpower)

• Improvedcoloracceptance

• Bettergloss

• Goodscrub,waterandstainresistance
