Protection of waterborne paints against freezing with E-SPERSE® FT 600
Ethox Chemicals, in cooperation with Spektrochem, is pleased to present the results of a comprehensive test conducted on E-SPERSE® FT 600, evaluating its effectiveness in protecting latex paints against accidental and uncontrolled freezing. The primary objective was to assess good consistency paint that can be measured on a Stormer Viscometer after repeated freezing and thawing, and the findings detailed below provide insights into how E-SPERSE® FT 600 protects paints against freeze-thaw damage while maintaining the original gloss of the coatings. Additionally, testing shows how E-SPERSE® FT 600 can be used to control gloss when formulating.
Contained within the summary report are comprehensive videos documenting fully performed formulation development tests, including sample preparation in the Spektrochem lab, tests in accordance with ASTM D2243 and interpretation, allowing you to understand the effectiveness of E-SPERSE® FT 600.
