The Role of TPM as a Premium Solvent in Coatings and Inks
In the realm of coatings, TPM serves as a highly effective coalescing solvent. It aids in the formation of a continuous film as water-based paints dry, ensuring a smooth, uniform finish. Its ability to dissolve a wide range of resins, such as acrylics, styrene-acrylics, and polyvinyl acetates, makes it a versatile addition to various paint formulations. Furthermore, its relatively low volatility means it acts as a 'tail' solvent, meaning it evaporates slowly, allowing the coating sufficient time to level and flow properly. This is particularly advantageous in high-solids coatings, where achieving good film integrity without compromising on VOC content is essential.
For the printing ink industry, the rheological properties of TPM are highly valued. It helps control the viscosity and flow of inks, which is crucial for consistent print quality across different printing methods. Whether used in flexographic, gravure, or other ink systems, TPM contributes to better pigment dispersion and stability. Its mild odor is also a significant advantage in ink manufacturing and application environments. When considering industrial applications of TPM, its role in inks is a testament to its precision and reliability.
