en.Wedoany.com Reported - Global specialty chemicals company Nouryon has introduced a polymer additive named Alcosperse® OTA-100, designed to help coatings manufacturers enhance the application convenience and environmental performance of water-based architectural coatings. This additive focuses on meeting market demands for low-odor and low volatile organic compound (VOC) products, while addressing increasingly stringent environmental regulations and consumer expectations for sustainable coatings.
Alcosperse® OTA-100 is designed for modern water-based coating formulations and can be easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes without requiring significant adjustments to formulations or production lines. The additive offers flexibility across various architectural coating systems, supporting formulators in optimizing coating quality and sustainability.
This additive provides coatings manufacturers with several key advantages: extending open time to improve application smoothness and painting quality; supporting low-odor formulations to create a more comfortable indoor painting environment; reducing glycol usage, thereby lowering VOC levels and odor; and maintaining compatibility across various water-based coating systems, enhancing formulation flexibility. These features help manufacturers develop high-performance architectural coatings while complying with sustainability and regulatory standards.
Joe Ferrara, Vice President of Nouryon's Coatings and Inks business, stated: "Alcosperse® OTA-100 helps formulators address the growing demand for more user-friendly architectural coatings while reducing reliance on glycols. At the same time, it enables manufacturers to expand their low-VOC and zero-VOC product portfolios without sacrificing quality." Customer testing and application trials have shown that the additive performs robustly in various water-based coatings, with minimal impact on key properties such as durability, scrub resistance, stain resistance, and water resistance, ensuring that manufacturers do not compromise the protective characteristics of the coatings when improving workability and odor performance.
Nouryon currently supplies Alcosperse® OTA-100 in the Americas and Europe, making it convenient for coatings producers in these regions to integrate it into existing product lines with minimal modifications. Customers can also access technical support and formulation optimization services through Nouryon's global coatings application centers to adapt to specific market needs.
