K-FLEX® 500P will offer the paint formulator a viable option to the more volatile coalescents such as 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate or even low VOC types such as triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate. Depending on the type of coating, dibenzoates can have the following effects:
- Improved scrub
- Higher gloss
- Excellent blocking
In addition to the above effects, K-FLEX® 500P can significantly reduce VOC's. Like other dibenzoates, K-FLEX® 500P can be used in adhesives, plastisols and other applications requiring a polar plasticizer with a lower VOC content.
