Solutions for low-VOC and VOC-free paints

Cognis’ DSX^® 3121 rheology modifier is an associative thickener which is zero-VOC and APEO-free (alkyl phenol ethoxylates). As such, it helps meet the current and growing requirement for low-VOC and VOC–free paints. This kind of environmental-friendly product is already being used for many water-based interior and exterior applications, and is likely to increasingly dominate the market in future. It is ideally suited to the manufacture of especially environmentally compatible paints and coatings, dispersion adhesives and craftsmen and industrial lacquers and varnishes. Thanks to the 30% increase in efficacy, paint manufacturers are able to save in terms of costs, in today's competitive environment.
