Water-based Coatings Overview

Water-based coatings are coatings that use water as the main solvent, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based coatings. With low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content, water-based coatings are safer for both users and the environment. They are widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, and industrial applications due to their ease of application, fast drying time, and durability. The increasing focus on sustainability has led to the growing popularity of water-based coatings.

Functions of Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP)

• Market Advantage: Improves coating stability and provides resistance to environmental factors.

• Product Characteristics: Non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and durable.

Disodium Phosphate (Na2HPO4) and Monosodium Phosphate (NaH2PO4)

• Function: These phosphates stabilize the pH of water-based coatings, improving the formulation's chemical stability and performance.

• Application: Used to improve consistency, drying time, and overall durability of water-based coatings.

• Market Advantage: Increases the durability and lifespan of coatings, ensuring stable performance.

• Product Characteristics: Non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate (NH4H2PO4) and Ammonium Hydrogen Phosphate (NH4HPO4)

• Function: These compounds improve water resistance and heat resistance in water-based coatings, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications.

• Application: Used in protective coatings for harsh environments, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to extreme conditions.

• Market Advantage: Enhances the protective properties and durability of the coating.

• Product Characteristics: Environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and effective in industrial applications.

Magnesium Oxide (MgO)

• Function: Magnesium oxide is used as a thickening agent and stabilizer, improving the viscosity and consistency of water-based coatings.

• Application: It is used in water-based coatings to control viscosity and provide even coverage.

• Market Advantage: Helps achieve a smooth finish and improves the coating’s application properties.

• Product Characteristics: Environmentally friendly, improves flow properties and enhances durability.

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)

• Function: Sodium lauryl ether sulfate improves the wetting properties of water-based coatings, ensuring smooth and even application.

• Application: Used in water-based coatings to improve wetting properties and achieve a consistent finish.

• Market Advantage: Enhances consistency and ensures smooth application.

• Product Characteristics: Non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and improves application properties.
