Waterborne coatings represent a significant shift towards more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions in the coatings industry. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we provide a range of high-performance additives that are crucial for the successful formulation of these coatings, with our amine neutralizers playing a starring role. Choosing the correct neutralizer is critical for achieving desired performance characteristics, including pH stability, pigment dispersion, and overall coating integrity.

The primary function of an amine neutralizer in waterborne coatings is to adjust and maintain the pH of the formulation. This is essential for several reasons: it ensures the stability of the binder system, aids in pigment dispersion, prevents in-can corrosion, and influences the rheological properties of the paint. Our amine neutralizers, particularly those recognized as multifunctional neutralizers for latex paints, offer a balanced approach by providing these benefits along with others such as improved color acceptance and low odor.

When selecting an amine neutralizer, formulators consider factors such as volatility, basicity, and potential side effects. Traditional neutralizers like ammonia, while effective, can lead to odor issues and VOC contribution. Our range of amine neutralizers are engineered to offer comparable or superior performance with significantly reduced odor and often with the added benefit of being VOC-exempt under certain regulations. This makes them an excellent choice for low-VOC and low-odor formulations.

The role of these amines as co-dispersants is also highly advantageous in waterborne coatings. They assist in the dispersion of pigments and fillers, leading to better color development, higher gloss, and improved film properties like scrub resistance. The efficiency of our amine neutralizers in this capacity can often allow for a reduction in the amount of other dispersants used, potentially lowering formulation costs and complexity.
