Film-forming auxiliaries are not particularly large in the paint industry, but they are indispensable. "Mobe Vision" selected the leading product of film-forming additives dodecyl alcohol ester for research, and made a brief market analysis. I hope to help readers have some understanding of the film-forming additive dodecyl alcohol ester. This unpopular and important product still has a certain investment space.
The film-forming aid is a volatile temporary plasticizer, which can promote the plastic flow and elastic deformation of the latex particles, improve its coalescence, and can form a film within a wide range of construction temperatures. The ideal film-forming aid should have the following characteristics: as a good solvent for polymer emulsions, it can reduce the minimum film-forming temperature of the emulsion polymer; it has low solubility in water; it has a certain volatility and can stay in the coating film during the film-forming process Play a role in the film, all volatile after film formation, does not affect the performance of the paint film; does not affect the stability of the emulsion.
Taken together, dodecyl alcohol ester has a very ideal evaporation rate for all flat and most semi-gloss architectural coatings. And dodecyl alcohol ester is insoluble in water and has good hydrolytic stability. In almost all emulsion systems, dodecanol esters show excellent film-forming efficiency. Therefore, dodecyl alcohol ester is the most commonly used high-efficiency film-forming additive in the construction latex paint industry. It is especially suitable for water-based architectural coatings.
