Historical Development

Benzoate Coalescent Development
Benzoates: non-phthalates, commercially available for decades for coatings and other applications
•Recently created dibenzoate platform was presented in Waterborne 2011 conference
850S - low VOC diblend of two dibenzoates
975P - low VOC type with lower freeze point than most diblends, broader range of compatibility in polar polymers
•Global products– On inventories in the US, EU, and numerous others
around the world
5
New Products• In 2013, commercialized:
500P - Lowest VOC of the line of dibenzoates. Proprietary blend of diethylene and dipropylene glycol dibenzoates.
• Introducing new monobenzoates for coatings:613 (3–Phenylpropyl benzoate) – Significantly lower
in VOC than TMPDMIB. Listed as a flavor additive in EU.
BOB (Benzyl benzoate) – Also significantly lower in VOC than TMPDMIB. Listed as a flavor additive.
6
Goal
• Review previously presented information:– Interior architectural paint with harder polymer – Exterior paint
• Introduce and discuss most recent results on new dibenzoate coalescents for use in coatings:– Interior architectural paint
Coalescent VOC’s

VOC Measurement
• In the US, EPA 24 is the guideline on VOC measurement method– ASTM D2369 oven volatility method (110ºC for 1 hour)– 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate
(TMPDMIB) is 100% volatile as is the diisobutyrate (TMPDMDIB)
• ASTM D6886 under revision:– A modified version of D6885– Future of ASTM D6886 use of methyl palmitate boiling
point marker (b.p. 319-321 at standard atmospheric pressure). Compounds eluting before considered VOC.

In California, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is considering adoption of this method to quantify VOC. TMPDMIB, TMPDDIB and many other coalescents will be 100% VOC by this definition. (Draft Method 313) if set to this marker.
Boiling Point at atmospheric pressure of methyl palmitate: 417ºC, 332ºC and 319 - 321ºC.

Exterior Paint Test Protocol• Goal
Determine the performance of commercial dibenzoate blends in exterior paint
• Formulations–Polymer – Two base polymer emulsions
Low VOC acrylic type: MFFT = 8°C, Tg = 7°CAll acrylic exterior type: MFFT = 11°C, Tg = 9°C
–PaintExterior flat - all acrylic exterior type polymer
Volume solids = 38.2% PVC = 46.0% Coalescent at 7.7 pounds/100 gallons for each (10% excess)
Exterior semigloss - soft low VOC acrylic polymer Volume solids = 33.7%
PVC = 29.8% Coalescent at 3.5 pounds/100 gallons for each

42
Fence Data: South 45°

Partitioning
44
Partitioning• Factors affecting the rate of partition into the polymer particles
– Water-insoluble versus water-soluble coalescent types.– Tg of the polymer, hardness.– Type of surfactant present. – Mixing and temperature during incorporation.
• Protocol to determine partitioning:– Mix emulsion. – Add coalescent at level recommended. – Take MFFT at different time intervals.– Consider surfactants – effect on MFFT, particularly HLB value.

Recap and ConclusionsLow VOC alternates by any method of test, the new dibenzoate
blends (975P, 850S and 500P) and monobenzoates (613 and BOB) function well in architectural paint versus a common low VOC plasticizer/coalescent
Specifically in paint properties– With dibenzoate blends, scrub and block resistance tests are the
same as or better than the high VOC coalescent films – Tough films
– Monobenzoates are listed as flavor additives and while higher in VOC than dibenzoates are still quite low
– Similar in other properties
Exterior exposure data does not expose any deficiencies in the paints with the dibenzoate blends
48

Scrubbability ASTM D2486 – Paint applied at 7 mils wet to a leneta P121-10N chart and dried at room temperature for 7 days. A 10 shim was employed with abrasive media (SC-2). Failure was a continuous thin line at the shim.
Wet adhesion ASTM D6900 - A gloss alkyd (ICI / Devoe Devguard 4308-6650 Medium Green) was applied by drawdown and cured for 6 to 12 weeks at room temperature on a Leneta P121-10N scrub chart. A drawdown of the test paint was made perpendicular to the gloss alkyd and allowed to dry for 24 hours. The coating was then crosshatched into squares with sufficient pressure to cut the latex paint film but not enough pressure to cut the alkyd film. The test panel was soaked for 5 minutes in water. The panel was placed in the scrub machine so that the squares were in the path of the nylon brush. The % removed after 500 cycles were reported.
Sag resistance ASTM D-4400
Dirt pick up 3 mil of paint applied to aluminum panel and dried for 24 hours. Then it was placed in the QUV chamber for 7 days of exposure. The top half of the panel was covered up and the synthetic dirt was spread evenly over the un-covered portion. The panel was placed in a 120’ oven for 30 minutes. The panels were removed from the oven and the loose dirt was removed by tapping on the panel. The top portion of the panel was uncovered. The % Y reflectance of the tested part and the untested part were read. The % Y reflectance retained was reported. The higher the %, the better the dirt pick up resistance.
Porosity Ratio ASTM D3793 – A 6 mil applicator was used to apply paint film to white Leneta WB charts. The ambient (dried 7-Days) and low temperature conditioned at 40ºF (dried 48 hours) were stained with 10 mils of Leneta Staining Medium for 5 minutes. The stain was washed off with mineral spirits and then air dried 3 hours. The difference in porosity of the unstained and stained was calculated for each the ambient and 40ºF conditioned panels. The ratio of the porosities of the 40ºF to the ambient was calculated.
