The newly developed molecule of Advancion is suitable for water-based coatings for the automotive and industrial sectors.
Advancion Corporation has recently launched the new etheramine DMMOPA (N,N-Dimethyl-3 methoxypropyl-amine), a multifunctional formulation ingredient developed and produced to be used in waterborne automotive and industrial coatings.
“The DMMOPA molecule was designed with several key properties valuable to formulators looking to improve manufacturing, application and dry-film performance in waterborne industrial formulations. This includes a high pKa for efficient neutralization, high volatility leading to better chemical resistance, water resistance and stain resistance of dry films, a wide solubility range as well as an excellent compatibility with commonly used binder systems. In addition, DMMOPA is supplied in anhydrous form and offers an inert tertiary amine functionality, making it suitable as a catalyst and in reactive 2K systems,” has stated Romain Severac, Global Technical Director for Paints and Coatings at Advancion.
“We are thrilled to introduce a new-to-market molecule that not only provides industrial coatings and ink formulators with novel functionality and utility as a multifunctional neutralizer, catalyst and additive, but also reflects Advancion’s commitment to innovation. Even when used at a very low percentage of the overall total formulation, DMMOPA is shown to have a dramatic impact on overall performance of a formulation, including enhanced hardness and solvent resistance in automotive coatings, improved durability and corrosion resistance in industrial latex paints and decreased water sensitivity in industrial ink applications,” has added Scott Johnson, Global Business Manager for Paints and Coatings at Advancion.
